Our Valve Testing Services

Pressure Testing (API 598 & 6D)

We offer thorough pressure testing services to ensure the integrity and durability of your valves. Our testing capabilities cover a wide range of sizes and pressure classes:

  • Sizes: ½” – 48”
  • Class: 150 – 2500

By adhering to API 598 and 6D standards, we guarantee that your valves can withstand the pressures they will encounter in the field, ensuring safety and reliability.

Positive Material Identification (PMI)

To ensure the materials used in your valves meet the required specifications, we perform Positive Material Identification (PMI). This process verifies the chemical composition of the valve components, ensuring they conform to the necessary standards and providing assurance of material integrity.

Hardness Testing

Our hardness testing services determine the resistance of valve materials to deformation and wear. This testing is crucial for ensuring the longevity and performance of your valves in various operating conditions.

Liquid Penetrant Testing

We use liquid penetrant testing to detect surface-breaking defects in non-porous materials. This method is highly effective for identifying cracks, seams, and other imperfections that could compromise the integrity of your valves.

Radiography

Radiographic testing provides an in-depth look at the internal structure of your valves. By using X-rays or gamma rays, we can detect internal defects and ensure that the construction of the valve meets the required specifications and standards.

Magnetic Particle Testing

Magnetic Particle Testing (MPT) is used to identify surface and near-surface discontinuities in ferromagnetic materials. This non-destructive testing method is essential for detecting flaws that might not be visible to the naked eye, ensuring the reliability of your valves.
