Pressure Testing

At E-Labs, we understand the critical importance of pressure testing for all metal, plastic, and composite parts designed to contain liquids or gases under pressure. To meet stringent qualification standards, these components must undergo rigorous testing procedures to ensure their safety, reliability, and long-term performance.

Comprehensive Pressure Testing Capabilities

E-Labs offers a wide range of pressure testing services, utilizing various gases and an extensive range of pressures to meet your specific needs. Whether you're looking for proof pressure or burst testing, we have the facilities to accommodate large tanks up to 8 feet long and 3 feet in diameter. Our controlled lab environment allows us to simulate rigorous field test conditions, ensuring accurate measurements of volumetric expansion and providing positive quality assurance.

Burst or Proof Pressure Testing: Hydrostatic & Gaseous

• Our Burst Pressure Test provides a real-time curve of increasing pressure until the cylinder sustains permanent deformation and ultimately fails. By identifying how the tank fails, this test allows for an estimation of product life expectancy and safety. At E-Labs, Inc., we're equipped to perform Hydrostatic Burst Pressure testing up to 30,000 psig.
• Our Proof Pressure Testing can be a critical step in verifying the strength and integrity of your components. At E-Labs, we offer gaseous proof pressure testing up to 12,000 psig, ensuring that your products can withstand the pressures they will encounter during actual use.

Reliability, Life, and Fatigue Testing

To assess how your products will perform under repeated load cycles, E-Labs provides comprehensive fatigue testing services. This includes low & high cycle fatigue, durability testing, life prediction methodology, mechanical fatigue, tensile strength, strain gauge analysis, multi-axial fatigue, experimental mechanics, and stress measurement & analysis. Our state-of-the-art facilities are designed to meet the needs of aerospace, automotive, and industrial industries, ensuring that your products can withstand the demands of real-world conditions.

Proof Pressure Cycling

Our Proof Pressure Cycling process involves generating stresses that increase to the required value (typically 1.5 times the maximum expected operating pressure), holding that pressure for a determined amount of time without loss, inspecting the component, then releasing the pressure and re-inspecting. This process helps determine product susceptibility to fatigue failure, ensuring the long-term reliability of your components.

Coatings and Corrosion Prevention Testing and Evaluation

Proper coatings and corrosion resistance are vital for ensuring that components meet their expected design life. At E-Labs, Inc., we design and implement highly accelerated corrosion test programs to determine corrosion resistance. Our services include fundamental corrosion evaluation, failure analysis, corrosion performance testing, and environmental effects assessments. We offer a range of tests, from cabinet testing and immersion to high pressure/high temperature tests and electrochemical analysis.

At E-Labs, we are committed to providing the highest quality pressure testing services to ensure the safety, reliability, and performance of your components. Contact us today to learn more about how we can support your testing needs.
