Our Center of Operational Excellence in Tulsa is Certified

We’ve made major investments in equipment and inventory so that VSI can support your needs. VSI carries vast inventories of new Consolidated pressure relief valves and OEM replacement parts, but if we do not have a part you require, additional inventory is available through the GTCNet network. Using the ValvFAST modular kit program, GTCs can configure a multitude of pressure relief valves often in as little as 24 hours.

Performance through People

Baker Hughes’s extensive Green Tag training and certification sets the bar for exceptional expertise. Every VSI technician goes through mandatory training— combining classroom lectures with hands-on practical instruction—on Consolidated pressure relief valves, proprietary repair procedures, and the applicable codes and standards. Only after passing written examinations and proving proficiency in valve repair, assembly and testing does a student become certified as a Green Tag technician. The end result is a team of highly skilled professionals capable of handling complex pressure relief valve requirements around the world.

Value-Added Service

In addition to expert pressure relief valve repair, your local GTC also provides true valve asset management. Using ValvKeep valve management and maintenance software, the GTC can manage almost any valve brand or type in your plant. No more headaches when it comes to repair documentation, historical repair information, critical reports and outage management. By using ValvKeep you will have access to your data around the clock via a secure Internet portal from most locations around the world via secure internet connection. When it comes to OSHA PSM compliance assistance, look no further than your local GTC. Your GTC can test almost any valve brand or type with the EVT PRO (Electronic Valve Tester). This advanced computer-based testing device uses proprietary data developed by Baker Hughes to provide accurate onsite testing. There is no need to remove valves in service because the EVT PRO device is equipped with acoustic sensing capabilities and sophisticated algorithms to verify set pressures for the valve. When the ValvKeep tool completes the tests, it uploads the results into an easily accessible database where it stores the valve information. To best plan your maintenance while helping to improve efficiencies and uptime, take advantage of the many other services a GTC can offer — not only in testing, valve repair and asset management, but also in advanced outage planning, commissioning and application support. Contact a GTC to see the difference.
