Imitation spare parts can introduce uncertainty and safety concerns.
Using imitation replacement parts might seem like a smart move, but they reduce reliability of your control valve and will not last as long as genuine original equipment manufacturer (OEM) parts. Dimensional and material problems are very common with imitation parts. The imitation parts are known to cause poor control around setpoint, reduce service life, and create leak paths, eventually leading to a control valve failure. Process plants rely on hundreds or even thousands of control valves for reliable and safe operations. The purchase price of valve parts from a replicator may be less than an OEM, but the risk to safety is significantly higher.
