Sanitary valve pressure testing, on every valve we ship
Sanitary valve pressure testing here means every valve we make, tested and temperature tested before it is packed — not one from the batch, and not a certificate copied from the last run. We hold 3 test centres for it.

How sanitary valve pressure testing is run
What the check is there to find, what is actually done with the instrument, and what leaves the factory with the goods.
What it catches
- Seats and seals that weep under pressure rather than in a hand check.
- Porosity and sand holes in a casting that survived machining.
- Assemblies put together correctly but tightened wrongly.
How it is run
- The valve is clamped in the rig, brought up to pressure, and held while the gauge is watched.
- Leaks are found on the hydraulic machine; a bubble is a rejection, not a discussion.
- Temperature testing is run alongside pressure on valves whose duty calls for it.
What you get
- Every valve is tested before it ships — the figure on the trust row is 100% for this reason.
- A pressure test report can be supplied with the order on request.
Measured against
- PED 2014/68/EU(se abre en una pestaña nueva) The EU Pressure Equipment Directive, which pressure equipment sold into Europe answers to. We hold module H certification against it.
Corrosion and explosion testing are not run here as standard. Where an application needs either, say so with the enquiry and we will arrange it rather than leave it unsaid.
Questions about pressure testing
Is every valve tested, or a sample?
Can I have the test report?
What pressure is a valve tested at?
Is temperature tested as well?
What happens to a valve that weeps?
Do you run corrosion or explosion testing?
