Pressure Testing
|
|
All metal, plastic, and composite parts
intended to contain liquids or gases
under pressure are required to undergo
stringent pressure testing procedures to
meet qualification standards.
E-Labs can meet our customers’ needs for
pressure testing using a multitude of
different gases over an extended range
of pressures. Whether it be proof
pressure or burst testing we have the
facilities to accommodate large tanks up
to 8 ft long and 3 feet in diameter.
Rigorous field test conditions are
simulated in a controlled lab
environment allowing us to test and
measure volumetric expansion in a
cylinder while providing positive
quality assurance.

Burst Pressure, Hydrostatic, 30,000 psig
Knowing the pressure
carrying capacity of a tank is
necessary to ensure short and
long term product performance. A
Burst Pressure Test shows a
real-time curve of increasing
pressure until the cylinder
sustains permanent deformation
and ultimately fails. By
establishing how the tank fails,
the test allows for an
estimation of product life
expectancy and safety. At
E-Labs, Inc. we are capable of
performing Hydrostatic Burst
Pressure testing up to 30,000
psig. |

Proof Pressure, Gaseous, 12,000 psig
A Proof Pressure Test
consists of pressurizing a
cylinder to a determined test
pressure and then holding set
pressure for a period of time to
determine leak rate, abnormal
distortions, or any signs of
possible failure. At E-Labs we
can produce pressures up to
12,000 psig for gaseous proof
pressure testing. |

Reliability/Life/Fatigue Testing
During fatigue testing a product is
subjected to repeated load cycles in
order to understand how it will perform
under similar conditions in actual use.
Testing may include any of the
following: low & high cycle fatigue,
durability, life prediction methodology,
mechanical fatigue, tensile strength,
strain gage, multi axial fatigue,
experimental mechanics, stress
measurement & analysis. At E-Labs Inc.
our fatigue testing facilities are
designed to service the needs of
multiple industries including aerospace,
automotive, and industrial industries. |

Proof
Pressure Cycling
Proof Pressure Cycling consists of
generating stresses that increase to the
required value (usually 1.5 times the
maximum expected operating pressure),
holding for a determined amount of time
without pressure loss, inspecting the
component, then releasing the pressure
and re-inspecting. This helps in
determining product susceptibility to
fatigue failure.

Coatings/Corrosion Prevention Test and
Evaluation
Components that do not have proper
coatings or corrosion resistance will
ultimately fall short of their expected
design life. At E-Labs, Inc. we design
and implement highly accelerated
corrosion test programs for determining
corrosion resistance. We also perform
fundamental corrosion evaluation
including failure analysis, corrosion
performance, corrosion prevention and
control, and environmental effects.
Testing can range from cabinet testing,
immersion, and high pressure/ high
temperature tests to electrochemical
tests. |
