01 / Services

Six ways we look after your valves

From a single valve that will not move to every valve in the plant — on site, at our works, or over a video call.

S-01

Field services of valves

At your plant

We take full responsibility for the valves in service at your plant. Our team works inside the plant with specialised equipment, standard operating procedures and supervision.

  • Maximum uptime and the shortest valve turnaround
  • Data on which valves and locations keep failing
  • Spares estimated so a minimum stock is always held
S-02

On-call services

Video call

When a valve of any make, type or size will not operate and your operators have tried everything, our specialists join a video call to understand the problem and suggest immediate, short-term and long-term fixes.

  • Safety protocols to follow while you work
  • With you, virtually, through the troubleshooting
  • A team sent to site if the problem persists
S-03

Revitalisation at our works

At our works

Before you scrap problem valves and buy new, send them to us. Revitalisation follows API, MSS SP, ANSI and IBR standards, with 100% third-party inspection, re-certification and a warranty.

  • Passing, gland leaks, broken spindles, lining or seat damage, dead gearboxes
  • Upgrades: impact-wrench-operated gearboxes and live-load stuffing boxes
S-04

Shutdown services

Planned outages

A shutdown is planned well in advance and carried out in a short window. We bring skilled people with the domain knowledge and stamina to work continuously, backed by our R&D and manufacturing teams, for mechanical and instrumentation valves.

  • Working towards an incident-free shutdown
  • Our works on call for anything unexpected
S-05

Supply of customised spares

Made to suit

Customised spares for valves and pumps, planned from what your plant actually uses — so the right parts are on the shelf when a valve is opened up.

  • Spares for valves and pumps
  • Quantities estimated from field-service records
S-06

Valve selection for specific applications

Advisory

Unsure which valve suits a duty, or seeing the same location fail again and again? Over sixty years of making valves for a wide range of services help us choose:

  • The right valve type and standard specification
  • The right supplementary tests and testing standards
  • The right painting standard for the application

02 / Problems we fix

Five chronic valve problems — and how we deal with them

Most valve trouble traces back to selection, installation and storage, testing at manufacture, or maintenance that slipped. These are the five we see most.

P-01

Passing and seat leakage

Large metal-seated valves are often not made to zero leakage in the first place. We check every metal-overlaid part for chemistry, physical properties and internal defects, and allow enough wear travel for positive shut-off years later.

P-02

Gearbox failure

A gearbox should give way before the spindle bends. If the handwheel rim needs more than about 30 kg, something inside is usually jammed — free it rather than force it. We offer helical gearboxes that run by hand or by impact wrench.

P-03

Spindle breakage

Common in instrumentation and quarter-turn valves, mostly from over-torque. Spindle bar stock needs its properties checked and ultrasonic testing for internal flaws, and stems need extra section for slurries, fibres and viscous fluids.

P-04

Gland leakage

The gland is a dynamic joint that loosens with pressure cycles and line vibration. Our live-load stuffing box stops it: large gate, globe and swing check valves fitted with it have passed helium leak tests.

P-05

Plant corrosion

Near the coast or with aggressive fluids, coatings decide plant life. Our in-house paint shop works to approved procedures, and every rubber or PTFE lining is spark-tested at high voltage.

03 / Process

How a job runs

The path a valve takes through revitalisation at our works. Field and shutdown jobs follow the same discipline on site.

  1. Inspection

    We record the valve as received and the trouble reported from the plant.

  2. Dismantling

    Stripped down, with every part tagged to its valve.

  3. Condition report

    Findings and the proposed scope reach you before repair work begins.

  4. Repair & upgrades

    Machining and part replacement, plus upgrades where they help.

  5. Reassembly

    The valve is rebuilt to the agreed scope and set up for testing.

  6. Testing

    Pressure-tested at our works, with third-party inspection.

  7. Final report

    Records and re-certification go back with the valve.

05 / Why us

Serviced by the people who make valves

  • 1960Established

    Valve makers first

    Venus Engineering Works has designed and manufactured industrial valves in Ahmedabad since 1960. Servicing draws on the same design knowledge, works and R&D.

  • 1975IBR

    An IBR-approved workshop

    Approved under the Indian Boiler Regulations since 1975, for valves from 15 to 1000 MM NB and ratings from 150# to 2500#.

  • HeliumLeak tested

    Leak-tight where it matters

    Hard-seated gate, globe and swing check valves have achieved helium leak rates below 1 × 10−7 using the hood method.

  • In-houseTesting

    Testing under one roof

    Hydro and air testing; radiographic film viewing plus ultrasonic, magnetic-particle and dye-penetrant checks by ASNT-qualified staff; a paint shop with DFT and adhesion checks.

  • 2020+Track record

    A growing service practice

    Revitalisation customers grew from 2020, major shutdown jobs followed in 2022, and multi-location maintenance contracts began in 2024.

06 / FAQ

Questions shutdown and maintenance managers ask

Something else on your mind? Call or WhatsApp us on +91 94291 29327.

Do you service valves made by other manufacturers?

Yes. We service valves we supplied as well as valves from other makers, and our on-call help covers valves of any brand, type or size.

Is it worth revitalising old valves instead of buying new ones?

Often it is. Valves that are passing, leaking at the gland, have broken spindles, damaged linings or seats, or a gearbox that no longer works can be revitalised at our works and re-certified. Send us the details and we will tell you whether your valves are suitable.

Which standards and inspection apply to revitalised valves?

Revitalisation is carried out to API, MSS SP, ANSI and IBR standards, with 100% third-party inspection and re-certification.

Do revitalised valves carry a warranty?

Yes. We offer a warranty on valves we have revitalised.

Can you help without coming to site?

Yes. Our on-call service puts you on a video call with our valve specialists, who suggest immediate, short-term and long-term fixes and the safety steps to follow. If the problem persists, we can send a team to your plant.

Do you take on shutdowns and annual maintenance contracts?

Yes. We have taken up major shutdown jobs across process industries since 2022, and since 2024 have run annual maintenance contracts for valve servicing across multiple locations.
