Copeland's carbide, ceramic, Hatelloy® and Inconel® coatings are useful in
preventing wear and erosion. Copeland specializes in repairing, modifying or
re-engineering all types of valves so that they may operate longer and more
reliably in the presence of particulates, corrosives or high pressure steam.

Valves, particularly severe service valves, need to operate reliably,
continuously and with little maintenance. Once installed, a sheared stem,
leaking body gasket or worn sealing area is costly and time consuming to
repair. Our goal is to produce products that are reliable and durable.
McCanna Seats after coating and lapping to provide a chrome carbide sealing
area so that the original valves will provide longer life in a process that has
erosive particulates in the process stream.
Fisher control valves sometimes require modifications to include carbide or
ceramic coatings on the sealing surfaces or even the entire wetted area.
Copeland can provide these services with a two week delivery or less.
This repair was for a power plant in Florida. The original valves had Stellite™
welded to the body's bore to prevent erosion. Copeland applied CFS131 over
the base metal to provide a harder, more wear resistant surface.







The purpose of retrofitting an existing valve is to a) improve design deficiencies in the original model, b) convert a valve designed for less stringent service conditions or c) simply to repair a valve for a lesser price, better quality or faster delivery than that offered by the original equipment manufacturer.
Copeland stands alone in its ability to repair, modify and replace severe service valves. For many years, a majority of the original equipment manufacturers who manufacture similar products have sought Copeland's assistance in solving some of their most difficult valve design issues.
