Custom Engineering for Industrial Flow Solutions
BCST supports customers from initial application review through product, material and configuration selection. By evaluating the actual process conditions before quotation, we help reduce selection risk and identify a practical solution for the plant.
- Preliminary operating-condition assessment
- Product type and size recommendation
- Pressure rating and connection review
- Material compatibility assessment
- Custom dimensions, coatings and actuator configurations
Review the Application
Understand the medium, flow, pressure, temperature and installation.
Select the Product
Confirm the type, size, rating, connection and accessories.
Match the Materials
Evaluate corrosion, abrasion, temperature and process compatibility.
Customize the Design
Adapt dimensions, interfaces, coatings and actuation to the project.
Engineering Workflow
From Process Data to a Confirmed Configuration
A structured review keeps the product recommendation aligned with the process, piping and operating requirements.
1. Application Review
BCST evaluates the supplied process and installation data to identify the main operating risks.
2. Product Selection
Product type, nominal size, pressure rating and connection are prepared for confirmation.
3. Material Selection
Body, trim, liner, seat, gasket and coating materials are reviewed for the process.
4. Custom Engineering
Special dimensions, interfaces, accessories and actuator arrangements are defined where required.
Application Review
Start with the Actual Operating Conditions
The customer provides the fundamental process and installation information. BCST uses these inputs for a preliminary assessment of product suitability, material risks and configuration requirements.
Customer-Supplied Data
- Moyen : composition, concentration and physical properties
- Flow: normal, minimum and maximum flow rate
- Pression : operating, design and differential pressure
- Température : normal, minimum, maximum and upset conditions
- Taille : pipe, duct, tank nozzle or equipment connection
- Installation condition: orientation, space, environment and access
The preliminary review supports product selection but does not replace the customer’s final system design or required project approval.

Sélection des matériaux
Materials Matched to the Process Medium
Material selection considers chemical compatibility, mechanical strength, corrosion allowance, abrasion, temperature and expected maintenance conditions.
- Review the full medium composition, not only the principal component
- Confirm concentration and possible process variations
- Evaluate normal and upset temperatures
- Identify solids, particle hardness and flow velocity
- Consider external atmosphere, coating and insulation
- Match soft seals, gaskets and packing to the same conditions
- Confirm required material documentation before production
Media Conditions
Material Priorities for Demanding Applications
Chimique
Selection depends on chemical composition, concentration, temperature and possible contamination.
- Stainless and special-alloy options
- Fluoropolymer or elastomer lining
- Compatible seat and gasket materials
Corrosive Gas
Dry and wet gas conditions must be reviewed separately because condensation can change the corrosion risk.
- Gas and condensate composition
- Corrosion-resistant internal materials
- Protected shafts, seals and accessories
Seawater
Chlorides, temperature, velocity and stagnant areas influence material and coating selection.
- Suitable stainless or alloy options
- Compatible coating and fasteners
- Galvanic-corrosion review
Slurry
Particle concentration, hardness, shape and velocity determine the dominant wear mechanism.
- Ceramic or hard-faced protection
- Elastomer sleeves and liners
- Replaceable wear components
Haute température
Material strength, oxidation, thermal expansion and soft-seal limits must be considered together.
- Heat-resistant body and trim
- Metal or high-temperature sealing
- Extended bonnet or protected bearings
Combined Conditions
Processes involving corrosion, abrasion and temperature require a balanced material system rather than one isolated property.
- Compatible pressure-containing material
- Protected process-contact surfaces
- Serviceable sealing and wear parts
Chemical Compatibility
Check every wetted material against the complete process composition.
Mechanical Durability
Account for pressure, velocity, particles, cycling and external loads.
Lifecycle Serviceability
Plan access and replaceable components around expected maintenance.
Custom Engineering
Adapt the Product to the Project
When a standard configuration does not match the piping, equipment or operating requirements, BCST can review a project-specific arrangement.
Special Size
Custom nominal sizes, duct dimensions or body proportions for non-standard plant interfaces.
Special Material
Project-specific body, trim, liner, seat, screen or internal-component materials.
Nozzle Orientation
Drain, vent, purge, jacket and instrument connections positioned for the installation.
Custom Flange
Flange dimensions, drilling and facing adapted to the confirmed piping or equipment interface.
Revêtement
Internal or external surface protection selected for corrosion, weather and site requirements.
Actuator Configuration
Manual, pneumatic, electric or hydraulic operation with project-specific accessories and orientation.
Interface Engineering
Fit the Product into the Existing Plant
Brownfield and replacement projects often require more than a nominal size match. Dimensional interfaces, access and actuator clearance must be confirmed before manufacturing.
- Existing face-to-face or installation length
- Flange outside diameter, drilling and facing
- Pipe, duct, vessel or tank-nozzle orientation
- Available space for removal and maintenance
- Actuator position and surrounding obstructions
- Support loads and connected-piping alignment
- Access to drains, vents and inspection covers
- Required flow direction and installation orientation
Custom Design Matrix
From Project Constraint to Engineering Response
| Project Constraint | Customer Data Required | Possible Engineering Response |
|---|---|---|
| Non-standard pipe or duct size | Interface dimensions and required capacity | Special body size or transition connection |
| Aggressive process medium | Composition, concentration and temperature | Special alloy, lining or protected wetted parts |
| Restricted installation space | Layout drawing and available clearances | Modified actuator, nozzle or accessory orientation |
| Existing non-standard flange | Measured flange and drilling dimensions | Custom flange or adapter arrangement |
| Marine or corrosive environment | Site atmosphere and coating specification | Suitable coating, fasteners and external protection |
| Special control requirement | Signal, fail action, speed and utilities | Custom actuator and accessory package |
