Before and after pictures of a “wedge” out of a “24 inch 2500 pressure class main steam block valve.

Breakdown

Before and after pictures of a “wedge” out of a “24 inch 2500 pressure class main steam block valve.

This is the full repair we engineered an attachment to one of our machines that allowed us to “single point machine” threads in the stud holes that we repaired.

1. Bore out existing threads and corroded base metal
2. Weld the holes back up
3. Bore back out to correct size for threads
4. Single point thread to original OEM size/specifications
