Test the finished pressure boundary
Our inspection capability includes hydrostatic and pneumatic leak testing. For components where porosity, sealing geometry or wall integrity matters, the test route should be defined together with machining and final cleaning.
Test definition
A useful test requirement identifies:
- Test medium
- Test pressure and hold time
- Acceptance criterion
- Temperature and safety constraints
- Porting, plugs and fixture responsibility
- Test stage and reporting requirement
Pneumatic-test caution
Compressed-gas testing stores substantially more energy than hydrostatic testing. Fixture design, guarding and operating procedure must match the specified pressure and component volume. Hydrostatic testing is preferred where it satisfies the engineering objective.
From defect prevention to final evidence
Pressure tightness is not created by testing alone. Casting design, gating, process control, machining depth, sealing surfaces and cleaning all contribute to the final result.
