Valve Lapping & Grinding are essential processes in the maintenance and repair of valves, ensuring optimal performance and extending the lifespan of critical valve components. These techniques are used to smooth and finish the sealing surfaces of the valve and its seat, enhancing the tightness and functionality of the valve when it is in operation.

Valve lapping involves the use of a fine abrasive compound to polish and remove imperfections from the valve’s sealing surfaces, ensuring a smooth, uniform finish. This process helps achieve a precise seal, which is crucial for preventing leaks and maintaining the integrity of the valve.

Valve grinding is a more intensive process that uses a grinding wheel or machine to remove material from the valve and seat, correcting any wear or damage that may have occurred over time. This method is particularly useful for valves that have become pitted or damaged, ensuring that the valve operates efficiently and prevents leakage under pressure.
