Test Facility

We have built an on-site test laboratory, housing 3rd party approved liquid flow and air flow test rigs which enable us to conduct flow testing on our valves. Our research and development engineers also carry out product cycle testing, destruction testing, and temperature control testing.

Air Flow Testing

The air-flow test rig is designed to comply with the EN 4126 flow testing standard and meets IMDG requirements and ASME PTC 25 Pressure Relief Valve Performance Test Codes. It has been manufactured to comply with ASME VIII Div 1.

Liquid Flow Testing

The liquid-flow test rig is designed to comply with the EN 60534-2-3 flow testing standard.
