Alloy Valve Know-How

D Fisher has combined its knowledge of metals and foundry techniques with valve user experience in
creating high alloy valves that fight corrosion successfully.

D Fisher has developed guidelines to help the valve user specify alloy valves correctly. Fisher has also
implemented techniques that verify a foundry’s ability to cast alloy valves properly and has established
stringent specifications that guide the foundry in providing quality results.

D Valve user guidelines include—Avoid the use of alloy tradenames, Don’t specify wrought for cast,
Forego non-destructive testing

D Steps Fisher uses to qualify a foundry include—Weldability tests to gauge the foundry’s ability to
pour alloy materials, Dedicating casting patterns solely to high-alloy service

D Stringent specifications developed by Fisher Controls include—Raw Material Composition and

Quality, Heat Qualification, Visual Inspection, Weld Repair, Heat Treatment, and Nondestructive Testing

D Fisher offers a complete line of actuators and accessories for Fisher sliding-stem valves that meet
your price/performance expectations

D FIELDVUE digital valve controllers are communicating, microprocessor-based controllers that utilize
HARTr and FOUNDATIONt fieldbus protocols. Through digital communications, the controllers give
easy access to actuator, valve, and instrument information that is critical to process operation.
D ValveLinkt software and Asset Management Solution software allows you to care for and maintain
equipment assets—such as valves, transmitters, analyzers, motors, pumps, etc. and plant unit equipment
such as pipes, vessels, tanks, columns, reactors, digesters, etc.—to improve yields and minimize
downtime of industrial manufacturing processes.
