Adiabatic compression
Objectives
Eliminate the risk of ignition and ensure the safety of users.
Adiabatic compression mechanism
The rapid compression of a gas generates heat.
This heat, generated within a component, can lead to its ignition.

What does the pressure surge test (adiabatic compression test) involve?
Our technicians subject a component to a very rapid increase in oxygen pressure over 20 cycles.
A visual inspection allows to verify whether combustion has occurred externally or internally.
Which pressure surge tests does CTE offer?
CTE performs tests on equipment in contact with oxygen up to a pressure of 600 bar, according to standard NF EN ISO 11114-6.
Testing standards
Our failure analysis activities
Oxygen failures, mechanical failures, lifetime of methane steam reformer tubes, etc.
