Pressure Testing

TE has on-site ability to safely pressure test- hardware, connections, and sensor assemblies or components hydrostatically, at pressures from 0 to 75,000 psi (0 to 5000 Bar).

Immersions with lengths up to 30” (contact your local rep for custom pressure vessels) that are compatible with any standard Pipe or pressure threads (30,000 or 40,000, or 60,000 psi) fittings. We test threaded connectors, valves, pipe, tubing, sensor immersions, brazed, vacuum-brazed, or welded joints.

We offer standard immersions with outside diameters of .125” down to .032”, we can design, build and test right in-house for fast qualification and turnaround to suit your needs.

Boiler, piping, pressure vessel codes and similar requirements, hydro and leak testing can be performed on our sensors and components headed for high pressure service. Generally classified as non-destructive, our testing will verify the integrity of a component or system without compromise of the material. Pressure testing/qualification usually tests the maximum allowable working pressure (MAWP) at 150% to allow for a margin of safety at normal process pressures.

Our test unit was developed so an assembly could be subjected to high pressures for extended periods of time. We can safely increase pressures for destructive testing, even the smallest flaw could be exposed and analyzed if needed. We designed our system to qualify our manufactured sensors that are directly secured into the combustion chamber- our assemblies are designed, manufactured and tested with the highest pressures in mind.

Typical applications include a wide range of oil & gas processing parts & equipment, combustion, power generation, waterjet cutting, hydraulic power systems, defense, and a host of others requiring extreme strength in structural integrity and sensor reliability.
