Valve Order Documents, Before They Become an Afterthought

Drawings, test records and packing evidence should be agreed while the order can still be changed. This page separates common records from project-specific requirements.

Valve pressure testing at the HSVA Nan'an manufacturing base
Test records

A test photograph is context, not the acceptance record.

The purchase order should identify the test standard, pressure, duration, leakage acceptance and any witness requirement. The final record should match the valve tag or order reference used by the buyer.
