VALPES ACTUATORS DNV-GL - 1000N.m

VALPES actuators are now DNV-GL certified up to a rated torque of 1000Nm (VT+/DV/DVX series). DNV GL certification ensures that ships or their components meet a number of stringent standards. These standards take into account safety, reliability and environmental impact criteria. The independent Norwegian organisation Det Norske Veritas or DNV was founded in 1864. At that time, the transport of goods and people was not very reliable. In order to reduce the uncertainty, a commission was created to evaluate and regulate the classification of ships. The aim of DNV is therefore to establish criteria that guarantee the safety of ocean-going vessels. In 2013, DNV - GL was formed by the merger of Det Norske Veritas (DNV) and Germanischer Lloyd (GL). Today, DNV GL is recognised as a leading authority in the field of maritime risk assessment and certification. DNV - GL improves safety, quality and energy efficiency through rigorous certification to meet today's most stringent environmental requirements.

 

These actuators can be used for ballast tanks, in compressor rooms, in machine rooms, in lubricating oil separators, in cargo areas and many more.

NEW VYC INDUSTRIAL LABORATORY FOR FLUID DYNAMIC TESTING

Designed and constructed for the certification and testing of a wide range of pressure equipment, especially valves, taps, butterfly valves and especially relief valves. More than 100 years of experience and 10 years of development have contributed to the creation of the only fluid dynamics testing laboratory in Spain, accredited by ENAC and one of the most comprehensive worldwide.

TESTS AND MEASUREMENTS PERFORMED

- leak test and pressure adjustment according to UNE-EN-ISO 4126-1
- pressure/temperature measurement in fuel gas systems using a handheld thermograph
- pressure measurement using a portable sensor
- spectrometric analysis of materials
- hardness testing of materials
- measurement of surface roughness
- testing of relief valve springs 
- flatness analysis using a monochromatic lamp
- ultrasonic thickness measurement
- ultrasonic leak detection
- flammable gas leak detection
- non-destructive testing (NDT)
