Hydrostatic Pressure Test
Shell & body strength to API 598
Every product passes a documented chain of inspection and testing before dispatch — because in process plants, the paperwork matters as much as the part.
From material and pressure to dimensions and function, each check is tied to a recognised standard — and backed by the certificate to prove it.
Inspected · Tested · Certified
Our quality control runs from incoming material to final dispatch. Castings are checked for soundness, trims are matched to service conditions, and finished assemblies are function- and pressure-tested under controlled conditions before approval.
Mill test certificates (EN 10204 3.1) and heat-number traceability on every body and trim.
Shell and seat pressure tests to API 598 / BS EN 12266 before any valve leaves our store.
Face-to-face, bore and flange drilling verified against ANSI, DIN and API standards.
Each consignment ships with test reports, IBR forms and conformity documents on request.
Approvals vary by product line. Specific certificates and third-party inspection can be arranged on request for project requirements.
Every product moves through a documented chain of checks — here is the journey each valve and instrument takes before it reaches your plant.
Castings, bar stock and bought-out items checked against grade and documentation on receipt.
Bodies examined for soundness and surface defects before they enter machining.
Seats, stems and seals selected to suit the media, pressure and temperature of your service.
Valves and instruments assembled to drawing with controlled torque and clean components.
Shell and seat pressure tests to API 598 / BS EN 12266 to confirm strength and tight shut-off.
Face-to-face, bore and flange drilling verified against ANSI, DIN and API standards.
Test reports, mill certificates (EN 10204 3.1) and conformity papers compiled for the order.
A final check signs off the product and paperwork together before it ships to you.
In-house testing for routine requirements, with agency and third-party inspection arranged for project and critical-service orders.

Procurement teams need documentation as much as the product. Depending on the order and standard, your shipment can include:
EN 10204 3.1 material certificate
Hydrostatic, seat & functional results
Heat / batch numbers on body & trim
Compliance to the agreed specification
Key dimensions verified to standard
On request, for boilers & critical service
Specific document packages and third-party endorsements can be agreed at the time of order.
For project and critical-service orders we welcome inspection by recognised third-party agencies and by your own team. Witness testing and stage inspection can be arranged on request.
