Pneumatic Testing

Standard Testing Regime for all Assemblies

After a visual test, the hose assembly shall be subjected to a pneumatic test. Using air, the assembly is immersed in a bath of water for a sufficient length of time to permit visual examination of all fabricated joints. Any evidence of leakage or permanent deformation can cause a rejection.

Hydrostatic Testing

Additional Testing Regime upon request

Unless otherwise stated by the customer the test medium shall be water. The hydrostatic test not only checks for leakage, it confirms the assembly’s structural integrity. The assembly shall be pressurised with water to the maximum test pressure of the assembly maintained for a sufficient length of time to permit a visual examination. The test pressure shall be 1.5 times the working pressure of the assembly.
