BiS Valves is an internationally recognised company with over 50 years experience in the design and manufacture of a wide range of small bore stainless steel pressure and flow control valves for high pressure liquid and gas.

Operating in a variety of sectors, we are a leading supplier to the offshore oil and gas Industry for topside, subsea and downhole applications where quality, reliability and safety are critical.

With an extensive range of standard products and a bespoke design service we aim to provide the right solutions for your applications.

services

BiS Valves have the breadth of experience and the capability to offer a full design and consultancy service to our customers. From initial concept to qualified production solution, if you require a new control component or a fully integrated solution  manufactured from a range of exotic materials specified to meet your requirements, our team of specialist engineers are available and at your service.

design

All BiS Valves products are backed up by an engineering team of hydraulics design engineers. As well as making continuous improvements to the current range, and designing new products, the team are always ready to help you find the right solution for your application.

Our design service can include making simple modifications to existing valves, to make them an exact match for your requirements, through to development of a complete new valve.

One of our most popular products solutions are hydraulic manifolds, where we can incorporate several valves into a single unit. This improves installation, reducing the number of expensive fittings required, makes servicing easier since pipework does not have to be removed when a valve needs servicing, and minimises potential leakage points in the system.

We can also offer design consultancy services, and we have the capability to work with you to design new products and systems, and to develop your existing designs. Contact us for details.

manufacturing

Manufacturing of BiS Valves products in mostly carried out in our own factory near Wimborne, Dorset, where we have extensive machining facilities devoted to close tolerance manufacture of stainless steel valve parts. In order to achieve high seat integrity levels required by the demanding applications that we serve in the offshore oil and gas industry. Sound manufacturing and assembly techniques are essential, and are even more critical when handling more exotic materials such as monel, inconel, hastelloy and titanium.

As well as manufacturing our own products, where product machining requirements match those of our capability,
BIS are also able to quote for manufacture of your valve designs, including assembly and test if required.

BiS utilise CNC machine tools, including lathes and machining centres, one of our newest additions is a Star SV32J twin spindle, driven tooling, sliding head lathe which allows us to manufacture slender section parts that would be nearly impossible on a conventional machine.

For 2008, we have just taken delivery of a Nakamura twin spindle, twin turret state of the art CNC machine tool. Our production machinery is backed up by a range of manual machines for producing small volume parts and prototypes for research and development work.

At BiS, quality is of paramount importance, and particular care is taken to ensure that the product is well finished, as well as dimensionally correct.
Every batch of components is inspected by our quality department before it is released for assembly, or to the customer, ensuring we get it right first time.

testing

In order to test our own products, BiS Valves now has an extensive and growing list of in-house testing capability.

This includes hydraulic testing to 1379 bar (20,000 psi), flow and pressure drop testing, and hyperbaric and environmental testing. Test mediums include mineral oil, water, various water glycols and nitrogen. Our in-house capabilities which can be augmented by external testing when necessary, include high pressure gas testing, environmental testing, large hyperbaric chambers, shock and vibration testing.

These facilities, along with our design consultancy and manufacturing services make BiS the perfect partner for your valve research and development project.
