2780 bar Hydrostatic Pressure Testing
2780 bar Hydrostatic Pressure Testing Recently within our KW Pressure Testing multifunctional test pit, a manufactured bespoke piece of stainless welded tubing was subjected to very high hydrostatic pressures. The test piece was placed below ground and connected to our high pressure control systems with lighting and cameras ready for recording. The pit was fully enclosed with […]
KW Pressure Testing Website Refresh
We’ve just recently improved our KW Pressure Testing website, keeping the branding consistent with our sister company KW Designed Solutions, all within the KW Group. We’re a growing team with a very healthy order book with requirements ranging from qualification testing components destined for deep ocean deployment to gas testing high pressure assemblies for use […]
High Pressure Burst Testing Laboratory Equipment
Our test engineers have recently been high pressure burst testing a new series of spherical laboratory test cells. The high pressure reaction cells are produced by a leading developer of scientific equipment and software designed for key processes in chemistry and biology applications. Hydrostatic pressure is introduced and carefully applied to each sphere, as per […]
Acoustic Release Device Mechanism – Pressure Testing at 1500 bar
The next generation of an acoustic release device was put to the test at a simulated depth of almost 13,000 metres below sea level. Using our 1500 bar hyperbaric pressure test chamber the qualification testing involved controlled ramping up pressures on the acoustic device, to then controlled depressurising. The device was subjected to a very […]
Environmental and Pressure Testing Facility and Services
In order to explore and work the deepest reaches of our oceans, through to developing clean energy solutions that are moving us into a world beyond fossil fuels, both engineers and scientists need their technologies testing, testing and testing again. Many products and components in their research and development stage require testing at high pressures […]
HPHT Gas Testing Components for Green Hydrogen Production
Our experienced KW Pressure Testing engineers have been high pressure, high temperature nitrogen gas testing a series of advanced components for green hydrogen production through water electrolysis. The specialist components have been designed for operating in complex high pressure and high temperature conditions. Prior to testing, our engineers designed and manufactured a test fixture to […]
Deep Underwater Subsea Technology Testing
Our 1600 bar (23,200 psi) hyperbaric pressure test chamber was in use for an innovative underwater technology manufacturer with products encompassing sonar, altitude, attitude, depth, heading and temperature sensors. A high-performance underwater altimeter and echo sounder which utilises sonar technology to derive distance measurement was subjected to quickly being pressurised to over 1000 bar of […]
We Welcome Sam our New Apprentice
As we continue our growth, we have the pleasure of welcoming our bright and enthusiastic new engineering apprentice Sam Sewell on board. Sam has already been busy with us for the past year on work experience and has demonstrated his ability to learn and fit into an established team of qualified and experienced electrical and […]
Temperature Control System Upgrade for Oceanography Institute
A Europe-based ocean research institute, where scientists are exploring, understanding and predicting the oceans, recently welcomed some of our engineers for the installation of a brand new temperature control system. An existing hyperbaric pressure test chamber was retrofitted with a temperature control system for additional functionality to the pressure system. The world-renowned oceanographic institution already […]
Pressure Testing Systems Service and Maintenance
There are lots of scheduled service and maintenance activities our engineers are busy with at the moment, including a recent visit to one of our hyperbaric pressure testing systems that has been in operation for many years. The system is designed for high pressure qualification and research testing subsea electronic modules and was built for […]
