For the most part, engineering is invisible. You know what a valve looks like, but typically you can't see the superiority designed into each and every valve we make. Milwaukee and Hammond Valve demand excellence in our engineering department, with groups operating in each of our facilities to support the manufacturing of all products. These engineers provide design services as well, translating the critical specifications and processes into manufactured items - a key step where other suppliers, without our depth of experience, often fall flat.

 

Our well-staffed engineering department is supported by state-of-the-art computer tools, from 3D design using Solidworks, to finite element analysis (FEA) using COSMOS, to computational fluid dynamics (CFD) using CF Design software, to automated data acquisition in our laboratories using Labview. We operate our own fire-test facility to help us achieve and maintain the most advanced fire-safe designs to the latest API and other standards. We translate our 3D designs directly to tool paths, both on our shop floor and in our pattern shop, which supports our in-house foundry operation. These capabilities also service our engineering and contracting customers, who use these models in their equipment and building designs.

 

Some of the benefits of maintaining an engineering department include:
