We have the most extensive set of testing capabilities of any engineered pipe support and commodity pipe supports manufacturer.  This allows us to provide a more tested, higher quality product and support custom designs. We have had some EPCs request testing of custom designs to be performed in our shop

The following are some of the testing capabilities we have:

Snubber Testing Rig 500KN – We uses a computer-controlled, hydraulic test machine to test the performance of mechanical and hydraulic snubbers ranging in size from 150 lb. to 135,000 lb.  This machine is capable of controlling a test, following any load sequence needed. It can then plot the test results immediately, and save the results to disk for future reference.

Snubber Dynamic load test 3530KN– This is a cyclic test which uses a horizontal, hydraulic press to test snubbers at their two modes of operation. At high rates of loading, especially impact, the snubber is expected to provide very high resistance to movement. At low speeds, snubbers are to provide very low resistance to movement. Testing a snubber at a low speed displays the normal wear and tear over an extended period of time.
