Measuring instruments in industrial metrology: A practical guide to dimensional control for pumps and valves

Measuring instruments in industrial metrology aren’t “tools”: they’re the point where it’s decided whether a part meets the drawing and tolerances or becomes a hidden cost (rework, rejections, delays, and disputes with the OEM). In critical components such as casings, covers, shafts, or impellers for industrial pumps and valves, dimensional accuracy stops being a theoretical …

Dimensional measurement errors: Causes, Impact, and how to prevent them in machined components

Measurement errors in industrial metrology are not just a “lab issue”: when dimensions are not measured correctly, the consequences show up as OEM rejections, leaks, vibration, cavitation, and cost of poor quality in pumps, valves, and industrial equipment. For an equipment manufacturer or a procurement manager, understanding where these errors come from and how to …

Liquid penetrant testing: Everything you need to know and its industrial applications

Liquid penetrant testing is one of the most widely used non-destructive testing methods for controlling the surface quality of metallic and non-metallic components without damaging the part. In the context of industrial pump and valve manufacturers, liquid penetrant testing on critical industrial components is used to ensure that casings, covers, impellers, shafts, and sealing areas …

Industrial pumps, everything you need to know: Types, operation and applications.

Industrial pumps are critical equipment in plant: if they fail, the process stops, maintenance is triggered and availability drops. Therefore, in addition to knowing types and applications, it is key to understand which variables influence their performance (fluid, flow rate, pressure, temperature, materials and operating conditions) and which parts are really sensitive to wear, corrosion …

PTA overlay in cryogenic valves: inconel vs stellite to prevent leaks and unplanned shutdowns

PTA overlay in cryogenic valves is not just a material choice: it is an OPEX decision. Choosing the wrong alloy or designing the overlay poorly can lead to leaks, loss of tightness, unplanned shutdowns and customer claims. Choosing correctly means extending valve service life, reducing interventions and gaining trust as a manufacturer. In cryogenic environments …

CNC machining of pump impellers: Common mistakes and how to prevent cavitation

CNC machining of pump impellers is one of the most sensitive factors in the actual performance of a centrifugal pump: small errors in geometry, surface finish or alignment translate into cavitation, vibration, customer complaints and skyrocketing OPEX. For an industrial pump manufacturer, this is not theory; it is lost margin and reputation at stake. When …

What is an industrial valve? Operation, types and how Asimer Group ensures precision and reliability.

The term industrial valve refers to one of the most critical components in any fluid-handling system. For a manufacturer of pumps, valves or compressors, it is not enough to simply know “what it is”: it is essential to understand how it behaves under pressure, what service life it offers, and what risks are taken if …

CNC machining of switch plug valves for refineries with 63–125 AARH RTJ flanges on an 18” CL900 body.

CNC Machining of Switch Plug Valves for Refineries: Tolerances, QA/NDT, and dimensional control

CNC machining of switch plug valves for refineries isn’t about “cutting metal”: it’s about achieving leak-free RTJ sealing, lowering operating torque, and accelerating QA acceptance. At Asimer Group, we act as a strategic, drawing-based partner for OEMs: we integrate applied engineering, to-drawing machining, QA/NDT, and dimensional control to deliver verified tolerances and traceable documentation aligned …

Accuracy machining: CMM/3D inspection, 5-axis capability and process stability

Accuracy machining means holding dimension, geometry, and surface finish according to drawing through CNC-based metrology (CMM/3D scanning), 5-axis machinery, and a stable process from CAD/CAM to batch release. To achieve series CNC accuracy at Asimer Group, we combine dedicated fixturing, fewer re-clampings, intermediate verification, and batch traceability; when applicable, we reinforce control with SPC/Cpk. This …
