Hydrostatic Testing

Advanced Capabilities and Equipment for Reliable Hydrostatic Testing

Our dedicated hydrostatic testing bays are designed to accommodate a diverse range of equipment, including:

• Valves: Ensuring leak-tightness and operational integrity.
• Pipelines: Verifying the strength and reliability of pipeline sections.
• Pressure Vessels: Confirming the structural integrity and safety of various vessel types.
• Adapter Spools: Validating the pressure-holding capacity of connection components.

Our hydrostatic testing process involves carefully pressurizing the equipment with a non-compressible fluid (typically water) to a specified pressure for a defined period. This allows us to identify any leaks or structural weaknesses. Our highly trained technicians follow strict, documented procedures to ensure accuracy and consistency in every test. 

Machine Specialty & Manufacturing’s API and QSM registrations offer significant benefits to customers in need of API flanges, fittings and weldments. These registrations streamline the procurement process, as customers can be confident that MSM’s products comply with industry regulations, eliminating the need for additional inspections or certifications.
