High-Pressure Iron Inspection & Recertification Services
TYPES OF pressure management equipment
rentals services WE OFFER:
Your high-pressure iron is the critical link in your pressure control system. Our comprehensive inspection and recertification services are designed to detect and eliminate defects, fatigue, and potential points of failure, ensuring the absolute safety of your personnel, equipment, and the environment. We provide full compliance with API, ASME, and NACE standards through detailed visual, non-destructive, and hydrostatic testing, delivered with maximum convenience via our mobile service trailers to minimize your downtime and maximize equipment reliability.
Hydrostatic Testing & Rebuild to OEM Specifications
Verifying structural integrity requires proving the equipment can perform under simulated operational loads. Our hydrostatic testing and expert rebuild services validate the safety and functionality of your iron, restoring it to like-new condition.
Hydrostatic Pressure Testing is the definitive proof test. We subject each component to pressures exceeding its maximum working pressure (typically 1.5x or as per API/ASME standards) while meticulously monitoring for any pressure drop or deformation. This test, often performed via our mobile service trailers at your site, confirms the vessel's ability to safely contain its rated pressure. "Rattle testing" for valves is conducted to ensure internal components function correctly without binding.
For equipment showing wear or damage, our certified machinists perform complete rebuilds and repairs strictly to OEM specifications. This includes re-machining seats and seals, replacing worn internal components, re-applying protective coatings, and performing final sandblasting and painting. This process doesn't just fix problems—it effectively renews the equipment's service life, ensuring performance and reliability that matches factory-new specs.
Comprehensive Inspection & Non-Destructive Testing (NDT)
The integrity of your iron begins with a meticulous examination that goes far beyond the surface. Our multi-stage inspection process is engineered to identify both visible and hidden flaws that could lead to catastrophic failure under pressure.
Our certified technicians initiate a thorough visual inspection, checking for macro-level issues like corrosion, erosion, mechanical damage, and seal condition. This is immediately followed by a sophisticated suite of Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) methods. We employ Magnetic Particle Inspection (MPI) to pinpoint surface and near-surface cracks in ferrous materials, and Ultrasonic Testing (UT) to measure wall thickness and detect sub-surface imperfections. For non-porous materials, Liquid Penetrant Testing (PT) is used to reveal fine, surface-breaking defects.
Every connection is subjected to precise dimensional inspection and thread gauging to ensure it meets original OEM tolerances. This data-driven approach provides an unbiased assessment of the equipment's condition, forming the foundation for a clear pass/fail decision and any necessary repair recommendations, all documented with serialized reports for full traceability.
Full Certification, Traceability & Fleet Management
Our service delivers more than just a repaired piece of iron; it delivers confidence through unparalleled documentation and a systematic approach to managing your entire asset fleet.
Upon successful completion, each item receives a unique serialized Test Certificate and Pressure Chart Documentation that provides a complete record of the work performed, test pressures held, and standards met (e.g., API 6A, 16C, ASME). This is all managed under our API Q2-compliant Quality Management System, guaranteeing the highest level of control and accountability. You gain instant access to a full digital history, including Certificates of Conformance (COCs) for simplified audits and compliance reporting.
The ultimate value of our program is risk mitigation and operational efficiency. By systematically inspecting and recertifying your entire fleet of flow iron, manifolds, valves, and control equipment, you dramatically reduce the risk of wellsite incidents and environmentally damaging spills. This proactive strategy prevents catastrophic unplanned failures, eliminating costly Non-Productive Time (NPT), and maximizing the utilization and ROI of your critical pressure control assets.
