One connected record from casting heat to a tested, stamped valve.
Follow valve enquiries, pressure class lists, casting and forging heats, boring, seat lapping, assembly, hydrostatic testing and despatch on one shared record. Every serial number shows the body heat number and the stem, wedge and gland fitted, along with the shell and seat test result. A certificate request is answered from one screen. Nameplate stamping data is printed from the order.
- Gate, globe, ball, check and butterfly types, sizes and pressure classes set out in your quoting terms
- Open orders and foundry casting balances brought over
- Hydrotest forms agreed with your test bench lead
Valve makers that bore bodies, lap seats and fit trim keep orders, casting heats, serial numbers and API 598 test readings in one shared GullySystem record for the whole plant. Each valve keeps its heat, trim and bench result until the certificate and nameplate stamp are issued.
What goes wrong before the software.
How the work flows through it, step by step.
- 1
Enquiry and quotation
A buyer lists size, pressure class, body material, end connection and trim, and the price is built from the parts list, boring hours and bench test hours. Revisions are kept.
- 2
Order and serials
The order is released with a serial for each valve or lot and the parts list for its type, drawn from the model register at the moment of release. No two valves share a number.
- 3
Casting receipt
Bodies, bonnets and forgings arrive against the purchase order, and the heat number and mill test report are booked and linked to serials before anything leaves the receiving bay. Nothing is binned unmarked.
- 4
Machining and assembly
Bores, seat pockets and flange faces are machined and checked with plug gauges before stems, discs or balls, seats and gland packing are issued and fitted. Each issue lands on the serial.
- 5
Testing
Each valve is tested at shell and seat pressure on the bench, with hold time and bubble count saved, and failures go to rework and are retested. Untested valves are held back from packing.
- 6
Nameplate, certificate and despatch
Plates and certificates are printed from the serial record, and valves are packed in lots with a packing list that names every serial in the crate. Shipping marks follow the order.
What is inside.
Every module can be switched on, left out or changed to match how your team already works.
The business modules it is built from.
Each one is also available on its own, or inside a system built for you.
- Estimate/Quotation Management
A valve is priced from casting, trim, boring and test hours, and each change in the buyer’s class or material is kept as a numbered revision.
- Batch and Serial Tracking
Every valve gets a serial linking its casting heat, trim parts, hydrotest result and shipment, so a certificate query is answered from one screen.
- Bill of Materials
Each model lists its body, bonnet, stem, seat ring, wedge or ball, gland and packing, so assembly draws the right parts.
- Quality Control
Pressure, hold time and leakage readings are saved per serial, and a valve that fails is routed to lapping or rework and retested.
- Goods Receipt (GRN)
Castings are counted against the purchase order and their heat numbers booked before bodies are accepted into the boring queue.
- Work Order Management
The work order carries bore, seat pocket and flange face operations, and machinists enter measured dimensions body by body.
- Stock Tracking and Alerts
Stem, seat ring and packing stock falls as parts are issued to serials, and reorder alerts fire before assembly stops.
How we would put it in.
Setup, data migration, integrations and anything built on top.
One system, each person sees their part.
For the owner
See valves by stage, test failures, lots due to ship and quotations still open for each project buyer. No chasing the floor for a count.
For planners
Release orders with serial numbers and watch the castings, seat rings and trim that hold a lot. Shortages show early.
For machinists
Open the body drawing, enter bore and seat pocket readings, and mark the body ready for assembly. No paper travels with it.
At the test bench
Enter shell and seat results per serial and send failures back to the assembly line with the leak point named. Retests join the same record.
In the stores
Receive castings and trim parts and issue them to serials with the heat or lot noted. Counts stay honest.
The numbers the owner asks for.
- Valves by stage and serial
- Casting heats with valves built from each
- Shell and seat hydrotest results by serial
- Rework and retest count by leak cause
- Stem, seat and packing issued against balance
- Shipments by lot and crate
- Certificates issued by project
Who this is built for.
- Plants that bore and assemble gate, globe and check valves
- Ball and butterfly valve makers for process lines
- Makers of control valves and pressure relief valves
- Valve foundries that machine and test their own castings
- Assemblers that buy bodies and finish valves under their own brand
When it is not the right choice.
- A distributor that stocks and resells valves needs inventory software, not serial records of manufacture.
- Pump makers will find Industrial Pump Manufacturer Management Software closer.

Questions owners ask before a demo.
How does a serial show where the body casting came from?
The casting heat and foundry are booked at receipt and linked to the serial, so a buyer’s query opens the mill test report for that exact body. No digging through receiving files.
What happens when a valve fails the seat test?
It moves to rework with the leak reading and cause noted. After lapping or reseating it returns to the bench, and the second result is saved beside the first so the history reads in order.
Can we ship a project in lots?
Yes. Serials are grouped into shipments, each with its packing list, and the order shows which have gone out and which are still on the bench.
Can the certificate be printed from the system?
Yes, in a layout agreed with your quality staff. The values come from the saved test, so nobody retypes pressure or hold time into the certificate.
Does it handle valves made from forgings as well as castings?
Forging lots are booked like casting heats, and the mill test report is linked to the serials built from them. Bar-stock stems follow the same path.
Can we manage actuator and gearbox fitting?
An actuator or gearbox is a part on the serial’s list, and its model and serial are recorded when it is fitted. A later site query can then name the unit.
How is the product priced?
The price follows valve models, users and test benches. We demonstrate on your own valve types, then send the figure in writing.
Can older serial lists be loaded?
Past serial numbers, tests and customers can be imported from sheets. A sample load of one project is checked with you before the full import.
Who looks after the system?
GullySystem staff host it and change parts lists, plate formats and test forms on request. Past serials keep the form they were made on.
