Critical Technical Advantages
-
OEM Specification Adherence: The ENCORE process guarantees a Fisher valve meets the same specifications as a new one. This is achieved by utilizing Emerson proprietary OEM specifications and the latest technical drawings, incorporating the most current engineering updates that third-party repair shops cannot access.
-
Wall Thickness Compliance: Advanced measuring technology is used to confirm that the body wall thickness is fully compliant with the original Fisher design. This ensures the pressure boundary meets the ASME B16.34 standard, a critical factor for plant safety and pressure vessel integrity.
-
Certified Quality Control: Every step of the remanufacturing process—including welding, machining, reassembly, and painting—is governed by a quality control checklist developed by the original manufacturer. This ensures compliance with applicable industry and regulatory standards.
-
Safety Mark Validation: All FM or CSA approval marks are validated during the process. This ensures that the remanufactured valve maintains its original certifications, which is essential for meeting plant safety requirements and insurance standards.
-
Factory Warranty: Every ENCORE valve is backed with the same factory warranty as new Fisher valves, providing peace of mind and demonstrating Emerson’s confidence in the remanufacturing quality.
-
Professional Finishing: Valves are finished with OEM-grade powder paint and clear labeling, making them indistinguishable from new units in both appearance and environmental resistance.
