Dunn’s Valve Testers, Inc.

Dunn’s Valve Testers (DVT) has been the leader in manufacturing and maintaining valve testers since 1978. DVT was the first to introduce these machines and we continue to innovate as a partner with our customers. Each machine is built to provide maximum uptime with the shortest cycle time for your operations.

DVT's commitment to your success is our priority. We work with your technical team to develop clear specifications, provide regular updates, and welcome your engagement during the project and beyond.

Every product is built with the operator's safety in mind. DVT's rigorous HSE standards ensures that each test bench is designed to exceed operational limits. Each machine is tested to capacity and inspected to safeguard your personnel. We have a broad array of standard features, automation options, and protective barriers to suite any setting.

Our promise is to be right there with you providing technical solutions, maintenance, and refurbishment when needed. We are proud of the legacy that Emmitt Dunn started 40 years ago producing the first valve testing machines for the US Navy. Everyday we build on that tradition by investing in relentless improvements to be your trusted source for the best machines available.

DVT Project Execution

Design

DVT understands that each customer has unique valve features, facility considerations, and operator skill sets that need to be addressed. We start in the proposal phase with a modular solution that is developed and approved through detail design.

Manufacture

DVT test stands are fabricated, assembled and tested at our plant in Houston. We maintain the highest standards of materials, labor, and manufacturing that goes into each system. Every machine is tested and inspected to project specifications before delivery.

Installation & Commission

Customers are invited to be part of the factory testing so their operators have full access to learn the equipment along with supporting videos and reports. We regularly provide onsite installation and commissioning support when required.

Training

We provide onsite, hands-on training with our product experts and use virtual settings for remote learning when preferred.

Lifetime Support

We offer maintenance, certification, spare parts, refurbishment and product upgrades through the life of your machine.
