Pressure Testing

We understand the negative impact a cylinder failure could have on your equipment and business. Every cylinder that leaves our manufacturing facility is fully tested in-house using fully calibrated equipment. Although we have a standard test procedure in house, we can carry out testing in accordance with our client’s requirements, and, if required, will provide certification in accordance with customer requirements.

The pressure testing requirements for the work that we undertakes are so specialised and varied that we had a real problem finding a machine that would do the job for us.

There is always a risk in developing an in-house solution and so our pressure testing rig has been finely tuned in full consultation with the Health and Safety Executive. The final result is that we now have a rig that allows us to make challenging evaluations of repaired or newly built cylinders in an environment that is safe for our employees and visiting customer representatives alike.

As with so many other things in our business the rig continues to develop over time as we recognise the need for new facilities as technology and customer demands change. Having both the design and technology in-house gives us the flexibility to further develop our pressure testing rig much more quickly and effectively than would be the case if we had to rely on an external manufacturer.
