Oxygen, Breathing Air, and Nitrogen Systems

Ensuring the Integrity of High-Pressure Systems with Hydrostatic and Proof Testing

For oxygen, breathing air, and nitrogen systems, maintaining the integrity of high-pressure components is crucial to ensure safety and optimal performance. Hydrostatic and proof testing are essential methods for verifying the strength and reliability of components and systems that operate under pressure. These tests help identify potential leaks, weak points, or structural defects that could cause a failure under operational conditions. Additionally, flushing is a critical step in removing any contaminants or debris that could compromise system performance.

SCI’s Hydrostatic/Proof Testing and Flushing services ensure that your oxygen and breathing air systems meet the highest safety standards by rigorously checking for strength, sealing, and cleanliness. Whether you are testing a new system, conducting routine maintenance, or preparing components for certification, our comprehensive testing and flushing services provide assurance that your systems are safe, functional, and reliable.

Key Services for Hydrostatic / Proof Testing and Flushing

  • Hydrostatic Testing: Hydrostatic testing involves filling the system with a non-compressible fluid (typically water) and pressurizing it to the required test pressure. This test verifies the structural integrity of pipes, tanks, hoses, and other components. By applying pressure beyond the system’s operational limits, hydrostatic testing can identify hidden weaknesses, cracks, or leaks that could jeopardize system safety. Our team ensures the system can safely handle operational pressures, without the risk of failure.
  • Proof Testing: Proof testing is designed to verify that components can withstand the maximum operational pressure they will face. We apply higher-than-normal pressures to ensure the system will function correctly and safely under real-world conditions. Any weak points or potential failures are identified, so corrective measures can be taken before the system is put into service.
  • System Flushing and Contaminant Removal: After testing, we perform a thorough flushing of the system to remove any remaining contaminants, debris, or testing fluids. This is particularly important in oxygen and breathing air systems, where contaminants can compromise both system integrity and air quality. Our high-pressure flushing process ensures that all lines, hoses, and components are clean and free from any substances that could cause damage or degradation.
  • Leak Detection: As part of our testing services, we perform extensive leak detection procedures to identify even the smallest flaws in the system. This includes visual inspection, pressure monitoring, and specialized leak detection equipment. Ensuring that your system is airtight is critical for maintaining operational safety and efficiency.
