Cone Valve <strong>Repair</strong><br />

Wear Resistant Putty<br />

4/14/97<br />

Las Vegas Valley Water District<br />

Water Treatment<br />

Problem:<br />

The faces on this valve would receive extreme wear from processing raw sewage <strong>and</strong> other foreign<br />

materials. Past repair method was to either surface harden [hard face], or simply replace when required.<br />

Valve replacement cost was estimated to be $1K.<br />

Solution:<br />

The valve was s<strong>and</strong>blasted to a SSPC-SP5 white metal finish. Complete repair area was chemically<br />

cleaned using Cleaner Blend 300. Wear Resistant Putty was mixed <strong>and</strong> applied filling all cavitated <strong>and</strong><br />

corroded areas. Acetone was used to smooth <strong>and</strong> sculpt Wear Resistant Putty following gel point.<br />

<strong>Devcon</strong>’s repair cost was $100.
