Pressure Testing
PRESSURE TESTING
SPE have been pressure testing critical parts and assemblies for the nuclear, marine and energy sectors for over three decades. At SPE health and safety is at the core of everything we do therefore our in-house facility provides a safe environment for staff and customers to pressure test, witness and flush.
Our PALL machine (connected to one of our three pressure testing rigs) does not count any bubbles that are naturally produced when testing. This means it only counts particles in the liquid which provides us with extremely accurate results on top of testing components that exceed the designed PSI. In turn, this provides our customers with the further comfort and reassurance that their products are safe to use when in a harsh and critical working environment.
Just another example of ingenuity when designing and manufacturing the in house built fixturing used in testing assemblies.
- Hydrostatic testing up to 30,000 psi within a dedicated test bunker with remote camera for visual verification
- Mediums: demineralised water and hydraulic oil
- Flushing to NAS 1638 class 6/SAE AS4059 6A-F in line particle counter
- In house fixture design and manufacture
- Non destructive testing: PMI, MPI, LPI, UT, visual, hardness
- Fully managed supply chain
- Heat treatment, surface coating
CASE STUDIES
CI Case Study
Objective At SPE we like to challenge the norm to improve processes and ways of manufacture. We take huge pride in facilitating smarter ways of working, reducing bottlenecks and finding ways for components to move through the business more efficiently. This approach helps also helps release more capacity improving overall throughput for the benefit of […]
CASE STUDIES
WHA Subsea Installation Cover
SPE were approached by our customer to help design an installation cover to protect delicate electrical equipment during installation. The team needed to design something big enough to fit around the equipment therefore manufacturing the structure in different segments due to the sheer size and for ease of installation. Printed on our WASP 3MT HDP machines, the cover is printed from 10 segments that fix together in sequence and is 1600mm diameter and 1800mm tall.

Delivering Urgent Chemical Injection Equipment for Sub-Zero Oil Field: A Case Study
Project Overview: Our client, a major player in the oil and gas industry, faced a critical situation when urgent chemical injection equipment was required for the Subsea Control Module (SCM) in a sub-zero oil field. The scope of the project amounted to approximately £1 million, with the added pressure of a looming sea freeze in […]
