Testing Services


Testing services for valves, manifolds, and tubes are essential to ensure their performance, reliability, and compliance with industry standards. These testing services involve various methods and procedures to assess the quality, functionality, and safety of these components. Here are some common types of testing services for valves, manifolds, and tubes:
Pressure Testing: Pressure testing evaluates the ability of valves, manifolds, and tubes to withstand specific pressure levels without leakage or failure. It involves subjecting the components to elevated pressures using hydraulic or pneumatic systems while monitoring for leaks or pressure drops.
Functional Testing: Functional testing examines the operational performance of valves, manifolds, and tubes under normal operating conditions. It ensures that the components operate correctly, including functions such as opening, closing, regulating flow, and maintaining pressure.
Leak Testing: Leak testing detects any leakage in valves, manifolds, or tubes. Various techniques are employed, such as hydrostatic testing, helium leak testing, or bubble leak testing, to identify potential leakage points and ensure tight seals.
Material Testing: Material testing assesses the integrity and quality of the materials used in valves, manifolds, and tubes. This can include tests to determine mechanical properties, corrosion resistance, chemical compatibility, and dimensional accuracy.
Non-Destructive Testing (NDT): NDT methods, such as ultrasonic testing, radiographic testing, or magnetic particle testing, are used to assess the internal and external integrity of valves, manifolds, and tubes without causing damage to the components.
ONLINE TESTING OF PSV’s : BH EVT-PRO true in-place valve testing enables you to meet local safety requirements for periodic testing and documentation without shutting down processes or dismantling or removing valves from service. You get the true “hot set pressure” of the valve, since it is tested under actual operating conditions. The EVT-PRO device simultaneously examines two critical variables of the relief device—the upward force applied to the spindle and the actual system pressure. Using sophisticated sensors, including an acoustic device, EVT-PRO testing accurately determines the pressure relief valve’s set pressure. It can also immediately sense and automatically close a relief device should it remain open during a test—a unique safety feature built into the software and hardware.
These testing services can be conducted by specialized testing laboratories, third-party inspection agencies, or manufacturers’ quality control departments. They are crucial in ensuring the reliability, safety, and compliance of valves, manifolds, and tubes in industries such as oil and gas, petrochemicals, manufacturing, and process industries.
