The Barbee P-230 Hyrdostatic Tester is the latest addition to our metals testing arsenal.

A hydrostatic test is a way in which pressure vessels such as pipelines, plumbing, gas cylinders, boilers and fuel tanks can be tested for strength and leaks. The test involves filling the vessel or pipe system with a liquid, usually water, which may be dyed to aid in visual leak detection, and pressurization of the vessel to the specified test pressure.  Testing of pressure vessels for transport and storage of gases is very important because such containers can explode if they fail under pressure.
