Think before you start
A disassembled valve must be able to be reassembled to its original state after revision. A thoughtful disassembly will undoubtedly lead to a smooth assembly. Furthermore, the disassembly process contains valuable information about the use of the valve, which is essential for later analysis.
Tips and tricks:
- When disassembling parts, make a sketch of the assembly and take enough photos.
- Mark the parts to indicate the assembly direction clearly.
- Measure all clearances of the valve in the condition it is in before revision. Record all values on the valve sketch.
- Do not be tempted to clean the valve immediately. During disassembly, it can be determined how dirt and grease move between the wear parts. Evaluate immediately or take enough photos for later evaluation.
Specialist work
The process of disassembly goes hand in hand with the process of assembly. Step by step and with precision. Experience in assembling valves or knowledge of it through a technical drawing? Then disassembly will undoubtedly be done correctly. If not? Then we always recommend seeking assistance from a specialist in the field!
