Measurement guide
Measure for fit and removal
Start with an equipment tag, two photos with scale and the space your team needs for service. Download the editable sheet or include the same details in your inquiry.
Record the equipment and its surroundings
- Take a side photo and an end or working-side photo. Keep the scale in the same plane as the feature and record one unit system per item.
- Mark the intended coverage, nearby obstructions, operating parts and the direction the cover needs to come off. Use an equipment drawing where safe access for measurement is unavailable.
- Record normal and peak surface temperatures, indoor or outdoor exposure and the intended result. For repeat items, identify which equipment tags share the same geometry.
Gate valve
- Valve tag/model, flange OD, face-to-face length and fully open stem height
- Working side and access to the handwheel and packing gland
Check full stem travel and access to the packing gland before approving the cover.

Bolted flange
- Flange OD, overall joint width including projecting studs, and adjacent insulation OD
- Wall clearance, working side and bolt withdrawal direction
Confirm both halves can be removed and required inspection or leak-detection points remain available.

Keep the same reference through review
Label each photo and drawing with its equipment tag and revision. If you already have a TERCC inquiry reference, use it when sending updates so the review stays in one thread. Agree how to share sensitive files before sending them.
