What

we do

Refurbishment

Kira Valves & Engineering are fully equipped to repair and refurbish most makes, types and sizes of valves

using skills and experience attained over many years. Our 3500m² premises consists of a valve refurbishing

facility which comprises of stripping, sandblasting, machining, welding, assembly, testing and spraying

services.

Refurbishment

Valves are returned to the original state

by applying either the clients’

specifications or working to standards.

We make reference to international

and local specifications such as ASME,

BS, SABS, etc.

Valves up to 3 metres in size are

refurbished and individually certified.

Up to 90% of all valves can be

refurbished at considerable savings

when compared to purchasing a new

unit.

Kira Valves and Engineering is capable

of refurbishing almost any type of valve,

such as the ball, gate, swing, globe,

butterfly, safety & pressure reducing

valves

we do

Our scope also includes various low,

medium and high pressure boiler

valves.

Hard-faced stellite welding and

high velocity oxy-fuel process is

offered.

Ball & shaft grinding offered.

Reverse engineering or OEM spares.

All valves are stripped, cleaned by

proper methods and thereafter

inspected to ensure they are within

the customer specified tolerance.

Valves are reassembled, pressure

tested and painted in accordance

with our clients requirements.

Non-destructive testing such as X-

rays, Dye pen testing, UT testing, MPI

& PMI may be requested.

All valves are pressure tested as per

ASME B16.34, API 598, API 6D and

various other international

standards, thereafter a test

certificate is issued.

QCP’s and/or ITP documents can

be provided.

What

we do

Strainers

Strainers are used in almost every industry to protect

equipment and to ensure product purity. We offer a

cost effective design that is used in applications

where the flow is least interrupted.

The strainer is installed in a pipeline to remove

unnecessary solids from fluids or gases.

Straining is accomplished by directing the fluid

through a basket where debris is trapped on the

inside of a screen element and clean fluid flows

through the outlet.

Different apertures/screen sizes can be offered.

Screens can be offered to capture smoke particles.

Our basket strainers are available in standard or

custom designs.

What

Fabrication

Our capabilities extend to cast iron,

carbon steel, stainless steel, CN7M,

stellite, and many more.

We can provide hard facing for valve

components using stellite (Cobalt-

based Alloy) followed by machining

which allows for a longer service life.

Refurbishment of valves often

necessitates the welding of

components i.e. Valve bodies and

wedges.

Welding can be supplied with full

certification, Welding Procedure

Specification (WPS) and Procedure

Qualification Record (PQR).

Our Heat Treatment Furnace handles up

to 1200°C. This complements our

welding facility. A diverse range of welding

requirements can be accommodated

and not limited to valves.

NDT results are provided on request.

Manufacturing

Kira Valves & Engineering manufactures’ a

range of valves and products.

We offer CNC and conventional machining

services. We accommodate both

production and jobbing orientated

quantities.

Our machining capabilities go well beyond

valve spares and conventional items.

Our Horizontal boring mill can handle up to

3m.

The horizontal machines can handle up to

1m.

Modification

Modifications undergo precise design and testing before being dispatched. Non-destructive testing such as X-

rays, Dye pen testing, UT testing, MPI, PMI, Wall thickness, may be requested. Our resources allow us to be

market leaders in valve modifications and thus pride ourselves in having modified valves for some of the

biggest companies in South Africa.

The following valve modifications are done:

Steam jacketing & extension spindles.

Valve seat changes from stainless to stellite.

Shaft material changes (from Chrome to Monel, Alloy 20, and more).

Gearbox fitting & actuator fitting.

Seat material changes (PTFE, Carbon).

Conversion of soft seated ball & check valves to metal seated.

Conversion of standard butterfly discs to Alloy 20, etc.

Providing non-standard face to face off valves

General trim changes.

Stellite seats and balls.

Ring tight grooves on flanged valves.
