Recently within our KW Pressure Testing multifunctional test pit, a manufactured bespoke piece of stainless welded tubing was subjected to very high hydrostatic pressures.
The test piece was placed below ground and connected to our high-pressure control systems with lighting and cameras ready for recording. The pit was fully enclosed with blast-proof closures in place.
The welded tubing, rated to 20,000 psi (1379 bar), had highly pressurised water introduced and held for a specific time.
Our test engineers then increased the controlled pressures to way above the rated pressure, up to 40,000 psi (2780 bar), and then held again for a set period.
Orbital Fabrications produced the test piece, specialist manufacturers of high-tech gas and fluid handling systems, and third party witnessed in our test facility by experts in producing, storing and delivering green hydrogen.
Our test engineers provide a full test documentation pack, which includes a test certificate, test engineer’s report and test chart data.
