Valve Test Bench
For control and globe valves
Most international valve standards require that valves cannot be subjected to high clamping forces before increasing the test pressure - a requirement that is almost impossible to achieve with hydraulic clamping. For many years, Suncenter valve test stands have been equipped with our superior automatic sealing head technology. These heads convert the test fluid pressure directly into clamping pressure, ensuring a smooth and linear increase in clamping force as the test fluid pressure is increased.
Our full line of hydrostatic testing systems perform hydrostatic and pneumatic testing of flanged, socket welded, butt welded, female and special end valves. Our systems are designed to test gate valves, globe valves, check valves, plugs, ball valves, needle valves, butterfly valves, control valves, safety relief valves and special valves, fittings and piping. We work with our customers to apply the latest product designs and systems on the market today to meet specific industry valve testing requirements.
Valve test benches are used for a variety of applications such as intermediate and final inspections by valve manufacturers, testing of new valves on delivery and routine or post-repair testing of valves in service. These include, for example, valve housing pressure tests, seat leakage tests and safety valve set pressure tests.
Other components can also be pressure tested, such as water tanks, motor housings, pump housings, fittings, insulators, etc. Special clamping devices may be required to clamp these test pieces.

Valve test benches provide an essential testing service in engineering to carry out these load tests.
Valve test benches are used wherever globe and control valves, butterfly valves, gate valves, safety valves, globe valves, angle valves, two-way and three-way valves need to be tested.
The valve test bench thus fulfils an important function by checking and ensuring the operational safety and perfect functioning of the above-mentioned valve types.
The valve to be tested is firmly clamped to the valve test bench. The corresponding valve is tested by pressurising the test specimen with the internal pressure specified for the test. A liquid or gaseous test medium is used.

Safety valve test system
Covering a variety of valve sizes and types, the system has been carefully designed to meet the needs of valve manufacturers and service/repair shops.
They can be equipped with hydraulic or manual clamping mechanisms to suit any flange design, as well as adapters for threaded or other connections. Our pressure relief valve test benches are typically available as benchtop units for small valve testing and in horizontal and vertical configurations. Additionally, they can provide different levels of automation and data acquisition, including touchscreen operation and wireless connectivity.
Additionally, Suncenter valve test equipment can also be containerized for easy portability. We have many technical sales and engineering capabilities to interpret your requirements and propose the most suitable solution. Above you will find pictures of some of the safety valve test benches we have offered in recent years. Please contact us with a detailed description of your safety valve testing requirements and we will be happy to design a solution to your requirements.
