Maintenance Training
Rising costs of maintenance and repair in the Utility
and Process Industries indicate the need for trained
maintenance personnel. Baker Hughes conducts
service seminars that can help your maintenance and
engineering personnel to reduce these costs.
Seminars, conducted either at your site, or at our
manufacturing plant, provide participants with an
introduction to the basics of preventative maintenance.
These seminars help to minimize downtime, reduce
unplanned repairs and increase valve safety. While
they do not make “instant” experts, they do provide
the participants with “Hands On” experience with
Consolidated valves. The seminar also includes valve
terminology and nomenclature, component inspection,
trouble shooting, setting and testing, with emphasis on
the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code.

Green Tag Center (GTC).
