Pump Testing Capabilities
Operating an array of specialised testing facilities, each pump is dynamically load tested, and a full performance test curve is provided prior to dispatch to confirm optimum performance and provide engineers with a datum to work from when installing the pump. Our dedicated test areas include:
Small / Medium Test Rig – full load testing up to 500kW, flow up to 10,000 igpm + 2,700 M3/Hr and heads up to 10,000 ft, 150 Bar and 2170 PSI
Large Test Rig – bespoke testing facility for high flows that can be customised to specific customer requirements. We also partner with a local dry dock to test larger pumps, submersible and vertical, up to 11kV.
Net Positive Suction head tests can be carried out in-house and our hydrostatic pressure test rig can test up to 250 bar.
HV Coil Capabilities
We manufacture HV coils that meet the relevant electrical standards, such as BS EN 50209 and IEEE 1553 & 1043 and our in-house testing facility offers the following routine testing procedures:
Surge comparison or turn to turn test (2 UN) + 1000
Tan δ / Tip Up
Hi-Pot (AC and DC flash)test (2 UN) +1000 1.2
Lamination Test
Partial Discharge
Voltage Endurance
Thermal Cycling
We can also test to customers specification as required
