Test Bench Selection Guide

What exact valve types, sizes, pressure classes and end connections must the bench accommodate?

Defining your application

To help you explore the most suitable solution for your application, we would be pleased to support you in defining the right valve test bench and configuration from our extensive range of solutions.

As a first step, we recommend considering the specific requirements of your testing application, including the valve types and sizes to be tested, pressure ranges, connections, required test methods, applicable industry standards, reporting requirements and any specific functionalities or capabilities you may need.

Tailored testing, built modular

To find the best fit, consider:

  • Valve type and size – What valve types, size range and connections do you need to test?
  • Pressure range – What are the operating and test pressures?
  • Testing application – Is it for production, inspection, maintenance, service, qualification or R&D?
  • Test methods – Do you need shell, seat leakage, hydrostatic, pneumatic, functional or torque testing?
  • Standards and requirements – Which API, ISO, ASME, EN, IOGP, DIN, MSS or customer specifications apply?

Size meets pressure

The maximum valve size and maximum test pressure are key factors in selecting the correct test bench. Together, they determine the forces acting on the valve during testing and therefore the clamping force required to hold the valve safely and securely in position.

This is why clamping force is included in our product selector: it helps to identify the right test bench configuration for your valve size and pressure requirements, ensuring the selected solution is tight, safe, reliable and fit for purpose.

Need technical support?

The better we understand your testing needs, the more accurately we can recommend a modular solution built around your valves – not the other way around.

Not sure which test bench configuration best matches your requirements or budget?

Our global teams and partners are ready to support you with the right specifications, test methods and system configuration – helping you select a test bench that is technically and commercially suited to your application.
