PRECISION
±3%

API 576 Compliant

Automated data acquisition guarantees testing falls within strict API tolerances.

Operational Methodology

A systematic approach to in-situ testing, ensuring absolute data integrity and mechanical safety.

01

Pre-Test Diagnostics

The system initiates internal loop checking via the main panel. It instantly scans sensor connections, identifying any communication errors to ensure zero data corruption.

02

Pressurization & 90% Hold

The primary control valve smoothly ramps up the pressure. It then stabilizes and mechanically holds the pressure at exactly 90% of the target set point.

03

Acoustic Leak Verification

An attached acoustic sensor microphone monitors the valve during the hold. It detects high-frequency internal micro-leaks ("passing") guaranteeing seat integrity.

04

Precision Pop & Rapid Vent

Pressure increases until the exact pop point is detected. Instantly upon lift, the detent valve vents auxiliary pressure rapidly, allowing clean reseating.

How We Achieve Precision

  • 0.1% Master Gauge Hyper-accurate digital pressure sensing eliminates analog estimation errors.
  • Automated SVA Software Automatically detects and logs exact opening and closing pressures, immune to human reaction delay.

API 576 Compliance
