Cameron's valve range covers ball valves, gate valves, check valves and wellhead and manifold equipment, with the Orbit and WKM names among the most recognised in oilfield and pipeline service. The equipment is built to API standards and specified with documentation.
Cameron surplus comes from service companies, pipeline operators and drilling contractors: manifold valves from stacked rigs, ball valves from compressor stations, and gate valves from wellhead and christmas tree work. Documentation is usually available, which supports value.

Seller guides
Cameron equipment, in detail
What we look at
Reviewing Cameron equipment
Pressure class and trim
Class and trim material determine both application and value. Capture the body stamping.
API documentation
Material test reports and pressure test records are expected in this market.
Service history
Sour, sweet, water or gas. NACE compliance matters for sour service equipment.
A detailed, accurate list is more useful than a generic brand mention. If you can tell us the model, the size, the class and what is attached, the review is straightforward. If you cannot, photographs of the nameplates will get us most of the way.
What to preserve
Before anything is disconnected
Keep the assembly together, keep the tag on the valve, and photograph the nameplates before anything is separated. Most of the value lost on branded equipment is lost in the ten minutes after removal, not in the years before it.
Questions sellers ask
Do you buy used Cameron equipment?
Yes. We buy Cameron equipment as surplus, in single lots or as part of a whole crib. We buy it as equipment, not as scrap, and we make no claim about its fitness for future service.
Is Cameron surplus worth more than unbranded equipment?
Often yes, because the brand tells a buyer what the specification is and where parts come from. The premium depends on the model, the condition and the documentation.
What if the nameplate is missing?
Send photographs of the body and any cast markings. Brand and model can often be established from the shape and the marking, though the price reflects the uncertainty.
