We have the capability to carry out submerged gas testing as required in API 6A.

Also known as leak testing, we can conduct high pressure gas testing using either nitrogen or helium gas. This type of testing is typically conducted in our testing bays measuring up to 6 metres long.

Gas pressure testing is performed by filling a component with nitrogen and pressurising it to test its integrity. Appropriate connections are required to connect the pressure inlet of the product to the on-site instrumentation comprising pumps, regulators, accumulators, valves and pipework. This system is then used to increase the nitrogen pressure until the desired specification is reached. Calibrated pressure transducers are used to monitor the internal pressure as it rises. The pressure is taken up and held, if the pressure drops, this indicates that there is a leakage.

Your safety, and the safety of our employees, is our main priority. Therefore all equipment which is gas tested can be observed remotely from our control room using cameras and data loggers. All testing and equipment is conducted in accordance with internationally recognised health, safety and quality standards.

Our team of highly skilled test engineers are experienced in completing gas pressure testing for a range of clients. Clients have the opportunity to select our beginning to end, fully project managed testing service or can independently hire the chambers.
