Hyperbaric testing at our site is completed in accordance with relevant standards such as the API 17 series in oil and gas, as well as SEPS for subsea electrical power cables.

Hyperbaric testing is used to extensively test components that are required to operate at pressure levels higher than atmospheric conditions. This type of testing is performed on components used in offshore or subsea environments, as well as in extreme high pressure applications to test and verify that a product can operate under extreme, pressurised conditions.

We provide specialist hyperbaric testing services to a range of sectors across the globe. Housing nine hyperbaric chambers, including one of the largest commercial chambers in the world.

Chamber TPT 5, our largest hyperbaric chamber, has the capability to pressure test down to 4,500 metres, equivalent to 6,526 psi/450 Bar whilst simultaneously testing at temperatures down to -2°C. Automated controls and an interactive loading table support greater efficiencies with an ability to load, fill and fully pressurise in under 90 minutes. This chamber also benefits from being fully automated meaning any natural fluctuations in the likes of pressures and temperatures are self-regulated without the need for manual overriding. Automated controls are also used to simulate the movement of components within pressurised environments.

Our highly skilled and knowledgeable test engineers, who have over 20 years’ experience, are experts in hyperbaric testing and associated pressure testing services. Clients have the opportunity to draw on their specialist knowledge with the option to select our beginning to end, fully project managed testing service. Independent hire of the hyperbaric chambers is also available.

Sectors requiring hyperbaric testing:

  • Oil and gas – valves, actuators, pods, cables, electrical connectors, pipe samples, pigging equipment, hydraulic cylinders, subsea harnesses/electrical jumpers
  • Defence – electrical cables, subsea sonars, subsea acoustic equipment
  • Marine – buoyancy modules, geophysical monitoring probes, subsea filters, diving equipment, deep sea watches

Did you know that we can facilitate remote viewing for hyperbaric testing? This encompasses live workshop footage and data streams to enable you to witness testing programmes and monitor product performance from any location worldwide. We can even record footage for review at a later date.
