Hose Testing and Flushing

Hose testing and certification is a key element of what we do. Whether it’s a graphed data-logged test certificate from our NATA accredited high pressure test rig or a DNV witnessed test, we can perform the most demanding test requirements.

Our hose assemblies are NATA approved up to 5000 bar, with hydrostatic testing. We can test with medical-grade air where cleanliness is important, such as in Air Breathing or Pharmaceutical assemblies.

For offshore and subsea applications we can also flush to a cleanliness level as outlined in NAS 1638 or ISO 4406.

Assembly

Our services include the capability to crimp up to 10″ flexible industrial and 2″ 10,000 psi well intervention hoses. Utilising German-built Uniflex crimping machines which are both PLC controlled and date logged.
