XALPESTECH · Division of XALPES LLC

Machines, physical equipment & oil-and-gas equipment division

XALPESTECH supports operators, EPC contractors and equipment suppliers in the oil, gas, LNG and extraction sectors as a technical representative: equivalence studies for legacy rotating equipment, technical specification and sourcing of critical equipment, reconstruction of technical data — and the design of custom machines, benches and tooling.

Industrial equipment engineering

Engineering continuity for critical rotating equipment.

01

Equivalence & obsolescence engineering

Form-fit-function equivalence studies for legacy rotating equipment (gear units, pumps, turbines) at end of life or whose original manufacturer no longer exists or no longer serves certain markets. Dimensional and functional cross-checking against applicable standards (API, AGMA, ISO, ANSI).

02

Technical specification & sourcing

Preparation of technical requisitions, RFQ packages and supplier qualification for critical industrial equipment, with verification of compliance against the applicable standards (API 610/611/613/677, AGMA, ASME).

03

Technical data & documentation

Reconciliation of legacy equipment data, field survey coordination and consolidation of dispersed or obsolete original documentation into traceable technical files supporting procurement, engineering and asset integrity decisions.

New division

Oil & gas equipment division.

A dedicated division acts as technical representative for operators, EPC contractors and equipment suppliers: it carries the technical side of a procurement, from the equivalence study to the accepted supplier, and remains accountable for the file.

Scope: equivalence and obsolescence, technical requisitions and RFQ packages, supplier qualification and technical bid evaluation, verification against API 610/611/613/677, AGMA and ASME, factory and field survey coordination, and consolidation of the technical file.

Area of activity: South-East Asia is the priority area; programs are conducted from Austin with partners in the region.

Machines & custom equipment

Physical equipment, benches and tooling.

XALPESTECH designs the physical equipment that the other divisions and their clients need: test benches, fixtures, tooling, small machines and mechanical assemblies, from specification to prototype and pre-series.

Test benches

Pressure-drop and flow benches, fixtures and instrumentation for the Testing Laboratory Division and for external laboratories.

Tooling & fixtures

Prototyping tooling, assembly fixtures and inspection gauges for pre-series.

Custom machines

Small special-purpose machines and mechanical assemblies designed to specification.
