VALVE REPAIR
AND TESTING EQUIPMENT

Serving the World
For more than 30 years it has been EFCO’s policy to win our customers
as partners. Thus we can jointly solve your problems which arise during
machining and testing of sealing faces and flanges on valves.
Experience has shown that preventative maintenance is the cheapest way of

increasing the safety of your installations. Once the first faults occur, costs
frequently balloon, especially as action has to be taken under enormous
time pressure in such cases. In addition to environmental damage and high
clean-up costs, unquantifiable damage to your image can also quickly arise.
With the targeted use of EFCO technology, you achieve not just a high level
of safety, but also save significant amounts of time and money in the long
term and make an additional contribution to environmental protection –
without additional costs.
EFCO machines are used worldwide and are characterised by:

• excellent quality
• long life
• operator-friendly handling
• first-class repair results
As a world-leading manufacturer of portable and stationary valve repair and

testing technology, we are certified to DIN EN ISO 9001:2000.
We are able to maintain our market leadership due to flexibility, continuous

process improvements, short information paths as well as dealing actively
and positively with problems.
Our product range comprises, amongst other things:

• Portable and stationary machining and repair machinery for valves,
flanges and pipelines
• Surface lapping machines
• Valve test benches

14
An EFCO valve test bench consists of a clamping unit and an operating/
PS-200
measuring/control unit (console). The test piece is held securely by the
clamping device and sealed on inlet and outlet for the test. Clamping forces
up to about 1500 t can be implemented (on request even higher).
The operating/measuring/control unit (console) is used for the actual test

(filling of valve, building up of test pressure, control of clamping unit,
measurement of test pressure).
We also offer small, portable test units for mobile applications. These test
units do not have a clamping unit and can be used to build up test pressure
and measure it (e.g. for tank tests).

Test benches for all clamping force ranges are also available with automatic
program sequence (special design).
Special designs outside our standard (variant) range are our particular
strength.
VALVE-DOC
EFCO-VALVE-DOC
Recording and management of test results is increasingly important
nowadays. We can provide a data logging system for the documentation and
management of the test results. The core of the data logging system is the
presentation of the pressure curve. It clearly records and documents whether
and how a pressure drop, if any, (pressure drop test for shut-off/control
valves) or a response (set pressure test for safety valves) occurs.
Finally, a test certificate (PDF format) is drawn up for each test and stored
automatically. This can be printed at any time when required.
EFCO-BOOSTER BOOSTER
Automatic water pressure generation with appropriate high-pressure pumps

is integrated in every EFCO valve test bench intended for a water test.
The air/nitrogen test pressure required for testing is provided either via a
high-pressure bottle pre-filled by the customer or via an EFCO Booster.
The EFCO Booster compresses air or nitrogen to 300 bar (4350 psi) (higher
pressures are possible on request).
16
PS ACCESSORIES
All EFCO valve test benches are equipped with standard accessories and
their function can be extended with optional accessories.
The following are some of the accessories available:
• O-ring sealing plates

ments. It is equipped with EFCO turning, grinding and lapping technology
and can also be fitted with a lathe, drilling machine, valve test bench and
everything else you require.
EFCO ABRASIVES
EFCO abrasives have been matched to EFCO technology through extensive
testing. We supply abrasives on a backing in various grain sizes and formu-
lations optimised for the application.
Abrasive backing: • Paper

• Fabric
• Foil
Grain types: • Aluminium oxide (Al2O3)

• Silicon carbide (SiC)
• Zirconium corundum (ZrO2+ Al2O3)
Grain size: • Standard grain size: P80-P1800

(other grain sizes on request)
GSS SERIES
EFCO GSS grinding tools are coated with electroplated cubic crystalline
boron nitride (CBN).
CBN is highly suitable for grinding hard sealing faces with a minimum
hardness of 35 HRC such as, for example, steel on cobalt and nickel basis,
highly alloyed steels, chromium steel, etc.
The good heat resistance of CBN in combination with its great hardness
makes possible economic grinding at the higher machining temperatures of
these steels (long life).
18
EFCOBOR LAPPING COMPOUNDS
In accordance with DIN 8589, lapping is a microfinishing process using a
grain distributed loosely in a liquid or paste (lapping compound) which is
held on a, usually shaped, counterpart (lapping tool).
EFCOBOR lapping compounds are oil soluble lapping pastes of boron
carbide.
Using EFCO lapping compounds, it is possible to achieve

• high surface quality
• highest dimensional accuracy
• close dimensional tolerances
independent of the material hardness.
They can be supplied in various grain sizes from P80-P1500 (FEPA) and
pack sizes.
EFCO also supplies other equipment, machinery and materials for valve
repair on site or in the workshop and for the repair of pipelines.
• SEAL AND PACKING CUTTING MACHINES AND EQUIPMENT

• ANGLE PROTRACTOR FOR GATE VALVE SEALING FACES
• TSM TELESCOPIC INSPECTION MIRROR

2 Grinding
Grinding is a machining process during which every grain which comes into contact with the
material rips a minute chip out of the material.
According to DIN 8580, this process is a cutting process.
Grinding is used for:
 grinding tools to sharpen the cutting edges of tools, e.g. drill bits, saws, lathe tools, milling
cutters, either manually or by machine.
 smoothing surfaces (metal and glass can be ground to a mirror finish, and a dimensional
accuracy of 2.5 micrometres can be achieved).
 finishing of hardened surfaces, e.g. sealing faces, gauges, bearing faces, by means of
cylindrical grinding, surface grinding, profile grinding.
Using the latest finishing methods, workpieces can be produced which are almost as smooth
and dimensionally accurate as with lapping.
Grinding achieves higher removal rates which means that grinding is more economical.
2.1 Abrasives on a substrate

Abrasives are those grains of hard material which are used to achieve the material removal
and are usually bound to grinding tools (abrasive paper).
The following basic requirements apply to all abrasives.
The abrasive should be:
 very hard and as tough as possible so that the material is removed from the workpiece and
so that the cutting edges keep their sharpness for a reasonable length of time;
 resistant to thermal cycling so that the grain can withstand high machining temperatures as
well as rapid temperature changes;
 chemically resistant so that no chemical compounds are formed which might weaken the
grain, even during higher pressures and temperatures in conjunction with air, cutting oils or
workpiece material.
A large part of grinding tasks during manufacturing is the machining of workpieces with
abrasives on a substrate. These cover a wide range of applications which range from rough
machining via fine machining to polishing.
The most important components of grinding tools are:
Abrasive particle
Top binder
Base binder
Backing
(alternative self-adhesive or
no self-adhesive)
4
2.2 Abrasive
The abrasive is the actual cutting element.
Abrasives are distinguished with regard to size, various grain mixtures and static distribution of
grain diameters according to macro (P 12…P 220) and micro graining (P 240…P1200). The
letter P in front of the grain number shows that the grain size of abrasives on a backing is as per
standard.
The letter P stands for particle size.
Particle size comparison
P P80 P280 P500 P1000 P1200, P1500, P1800

µ 200µ 60µ 30µ 15µ 9µ
Abrasives can be divided into:
 natural abrasives (e.g. diamond, natural alumina, garnet, emery, quartz)
 synthetic abrasives (e.g. synthetic diamond, cubic crystalline boron nitride (CBN), fused
alumina, zirconium oxide, silicon carbide).
Today, the synthetic abrasives, such as fused alumina, silicon carbide, zirconium oxide, cubic
crystalline boron nitride and diamond, are almost the only ones of technical importance.
Aluminium oxide (Al2O3):

A very tough synthetic mineral of high strength.
The ideal abrasive particle for almost all grinding tasks.
Silicon carbide (SiC):

A particularly hard synthetic abrasive particle with a very high
cutting efficiency.
Particularly well suited for cast iron, non-iron metals, paints, glass,
plastics, porcelain and vulcanite.
Zirconium oxide (ZrO2):

An extremely hard synthetic abrasive particle with high compressive
strength for all grinding work which requires large chip removal
(steel, titanium).
5
2.2.1 Abrasives with ceramic bonded hollow sphere (EFCOSIT)
Synthetic resin bonded grinding belt with ceramically bonded hollow spheres on a heavy
polyester fabric backing (particularly tear resistant).
The hollow spheres which break up and are thus self-sharpening provide a longer tool life
compared to comparable abrasives of the same grain size.
Chips flow away more easily. The abrasive surface does not clog so that a uniform surface
roughness is obtained.

2.3 Binder
Binders for abrasives must hold the abrasive grains on the backing up to the end of the tool life.
As a rule, two binder layers are required for this.
The base binder fixes the abrasives particles distributed over the backing in their position.
The top binder which is then applied provides safe support of the abrasive particles.
Natural glues, synthetic resins and varnishes are used for this purpose.
6
2.4 Backing (for abrasive particles)

The backing is a flexible substrate to which the abrasive particles are anchored.
The backing material which is used for the abrasives features various characteristics like
elasticity, flexibility and tightness.
Distinguish between the following backing material:
Paper (self-adhesive *)
Paper with different surface weights is normally used as backing. Paper with a special
waterproof impregnation is used for wet grinding. Thin paper is generally suitable for manual
grinding, and thicker paper is required for mechanical grinding. Paper is the most widely used
backing because it meets requirements in the majority of usage cases.
Grinding materials with paper backing have a good price/performance ratio.
Fabric / linen (self-adhesive * or no self-adhesive)
In cases where greater demands are made of the strength and flexibility of the grinding material,
backing made from cotton, polyester or blended fabric can be used. Fabric backing is more
durable than paper and provides better tear resistance and extremely good elasticity.
These abrasive grit carriers can be either non-waterproof or waterproofed by means of
impregnation.
A distinction is made between light/flexible fabric, heavy fabric with good tear resistance and
average flexibility, and fabric with an extremely heavy and stable backing.
Film (self-adhesive *)
Plastic film provides extremely consistent material thickness and water resistance when it used
as a carrier material. A great number of grinding tasks are in the micro-finishing area, where
extreme precision is required (when grinding safety valves, for example). The “hard” backing
provides a uniform finish.
* temperature-resistant und waterproof
7
3 EFCO-GSS – Grinding Tools (CBN)
The EFCO GSS grinding tools are coated with

cubic crystalline boron nitride (CBN) of grain
size B252 with a galvanic bond.
CBN – cubic crystalline boron nitride
CBN is highly suitable for the machining of

long-chipping materials, such as tool steel,
HSS, high-alloy steels etc., hardened to at
least 45 HRC.
The good thermal stability of CBN in
combination with its high hardness is what
makes economical grinding at the higher
machining temperatures of these steels
possible.
CBN as an abrasive is distinguished in particular by:
 thermally stable up to about 600°C (1112°F)

 resistant against chemicals, steam and other aggressive media
 grinds stellites, steels, cast iron and bronze aggressively
 excellent for the removal of scale layer
 consistent machining over the whole tool life
 can also be used on hard faced sealing faces
Galvanic bond
The abrasive CBN particle is bonded to a nickel layer which has been bonded to the carrier
using a galvanic process.
This bond is very open, grinds very aggressively and is suitable for the grinding of steel,
carbide, plastics, etc., if the correct grain size is chosen.
The galvanic bond is generally applied in a single layer, i.e. the thickness of the layer
corresponds approximately to the grain size and can thus not be dressed or re-profiled on wear.
8
4 Lapping
Lapping is a machining process to smooth surfaces whilst maintaining close tolerances and
flatness.
An abrasive embedded in a lubricant is used for lapping. In contrast to

grinding where the abrasive is anchored to the backing material lapping
works with a moving (rolling) grain.
DIN 8589 divides lapping into two groups:

 Lapping with lapping paste
 Lapping with lapping liquid
Lapping with lapping paste
Lapping plates / lapping spindles of grey iron are used for lapping.
Lapping pastes can be applied to the sealing face or lapping plate / lapping spindle constantly
as required.
After lapping, sealing face and lapping plate must be degreased and cleaned to 100 %.
Lapping with lapping liquid
Selection of the correct lapping agent

 Aluminium oxide AI 2O3
For machining semiconductor materials (e.g. silicone and germanium), light alloys and non-
ferrous metals, coal, plastics, soft steel, cast iron, etc.
 Silicon carbide SiC
For the machining of grey iron, steel (soft, hardened, alloyed), stellite, ceramics, glass,
plastics, titanium, carbide, etc.
 Boron carbide B4C

For the machining of carbide, ceramics, etc.
Grain size
Guideline values for achievable roughnesses depending on the lapping powder are
shown in the table on the following page. If the same lapping grain is used, hard
materials have better surface characteristics than soft materials.
Lapping agent
The machining tasks are determined not only by the type of lapping powder, but also by
the mixing ratio of grain to carrier.
The carrier is usually a lapping oil or a water-based agent. EFCO recommends lapping oil as
carrier.
One criterion for the quality of a lapping agent (grain + carrier) is, amongst other things, its
miscibility (no agglomeration, no early separation).
