Valves, fittings and instruments that hold.
Valves and fittings up to 400 NB proven for pressure, leak-tightness, flow, thousands of operations and fire — and the instruments around them proven against weather and dust.
What energy & process teams bring us
Valve acceptance
Pressure and leak tests to the valve standards, on water, oil, air or nitrogen.
Fluid flow test lab →Control valve performance
A measured flow rating, and endurance over thousands of operations.
Fluid flow test lab →Fire-safe rating
Fire tests behind a valve's fire-safe rating.
Fluid flow test lab →Outdoor instrumentation
Dust, water, salt and temperature for field equipment.
Climatic test lab →Why energy & process programmes test here
- Sizes up to 400 NB, at the pressures your specification sets
- Supply your own adaptors and end fittings to keep the cost down
- Your customer's and third-party inspectors witness tests here
- Development trials on prototypes, before the formal qualification
Impartiality comes first. Test results are reported exactly as measured, whoever the customer. Engineering advice — design analysis, failure investigation, fixture design — is a separate service outside our NABL accreditation, and it never changes how a test is run or reported.
Development trials
Before the formal qualification, bring the prototype and run the tests early — at the specified levels, or stepped up within the machine's limits to find where the margin runs out. Development trials run in R&D mode: fully instrumented, every failure photographed, and reported as development results, kept separate from any formal qualification.
Plan a development trialThe labs that matter to you
Fluid flow test lab
Prove valves, fittings and hoses hold, flow and last — on liquids and gases.
Climatic test lab
Prove it works from the Himalayas to the Arabian Sea — heat, cold, humidity, salt, dust and water.
Mechanical & materials
Prove the material, the fastener and the joint — static, cyclic and fatigue.
Before the test, and after
Flow analysis for pressure drop and flow rating, and thermal analysis of field enclosures — a separate engineering service.
