Nessco Pressure Systems Hydratron Pressure Relief Valve Test Bench upgrade

Nessco Pressure Systems (NPS) has upgraded two Hydratron Pressure Relief Valve Test Benches in order to comply with the stringent safety standards of the WA gas fields. The modified test benches are part of the client’s portable fleet of industry-compliant, high-pressure testing equipment.

Both test benches were fitted with a custom-built safety cell specifically designed to fold completely away from the bench, allowing clear passage to load valves onto the test unit with either a front-on or overhead jib crane. The units were also installed with a dead-man foot valve, designed to prevent nitrogen gas flow when not activated.

The company’s qualified technicians custom designed and manufactured in-house both the safety cells and foot valves in order to meet the expectations of the oil and gas industry. During the process, they also serviced the test benches, subjecting them to the Hydratron-defined factory acceptance test (FAT), providing a total turnkey package.

The high-pressure development team at NPS is capable of modifying any Hydratron unit to meet client specifications and requirements.
