Flexible hoses

These tests demonstrate the ability of the hoses to withstand their normal conditions of use in order to avoid any danger.

Why perform performance tests on flexible hoses ?

Whether or not they are subjected to high pressure, flexible hoses are a source of potential damage: whipping, bursting of fittings and projection of pieces of hose, and leaks of gas or liquids that can lead to injury.

What is the objective ? Guaranteeing the safety of users.

What do these tests involve ?

Our technicians can perform the following tests :

  • Endurance tests.
  • Leakage tests.
  • Flexibility and robustness tests.
  • Flexion endurance tests
  • 'Whipping' tests.
  • Ignition test in case the gas is more oxidising than air.
  • Decomposition test in the presence of acetylene.

The tests are carried out mainly according to ISO 16964.

Our failure analysis activities

Oxygen failures, mechanical failures, lifetime of methane steam reformer tubes, etc.
