a wide range of pressure tests

Among the many environmental tests required during the qualification phase of your products, VITESS testing center covers a wide range of pressure tests that can be divided in multiple categories:

– Altitude (low pressure) with or without temperature regulation
– Overpressure
– Storage/air transport, operation/air carriage, rapid or explosive decompression
– Pressure (low pressure or overpressure) slow or fast with multiple fluids (air, water, oils…)
– Fluids circulation (temperature, pressure and flow interlock with air, water, oils…)
– Cycled / pulsed pressure with or without temperature regulation with multiple fluids (air, water, oils…)
– Leak testing / Tightness
– Vacuum
– Charge loss

Our testing center is equipped with many testing means of different characteristics (volume, temperature and pressure variation speed…) within a volume range from a few dm3 to 8 m3. This specific equipment pool allows us to adapt to all size and weight of test specimens and to meet at best your needs.

Contact us for all your altitude, decompression, fluids circulation… test requests.

You will find below a more exhaustive or our testing means.

For specific requirements, we are able to design and manufacture customized testing enclosures and follow your specification or not standard test.

We work every day for many cutting-edge industries such as the aeronautic, defense, space, automotive, railway, marine, but also nuclear, energy, textile…

The pressure tests in these industries are regulated by standards and our testing center strictly follow them:

– Standards linked to industries:

  • – RTCA DO-160 / EUROCAE ED-14
  • – MIL-STD-810
  • – STANAG 4370 AECTP 300
  • – DEF STAN

– Standards form European, American, Asian manufacturers

VITESS is also able to adapt to specific requirements to perform special or not standard tests. We study every test specification in order to best answer the multiple needs and create the ideal testing mean.
The flexibility of our testing center also allows us to perform combined vibrations, temperature and fluid circulation tests.

Here are listed the main means* we have in order to perform your pressure tests:

  • – Pressure bench from 1 to 3000 bar
  • – Low pressure bench from 1 to 0.002 bar
  • – Pressure bench fuel/oil in temperature (-65°C to +250°C)
  • – Pressure bench and vibrations with temperature
  • – Flashback flame simulation bench
  • – Vacuum simulation bench
  • – High frequency pulsed pressure bench (frequency = 1 to 1000 Hz)
  • – Multiple pressure variation enclosures from a few dm3 to 8 m3**

* All our testing means are adjustable and customizable in order to answer specific demands, whose technical requirements are out standards or needing higher constraints than usual tests.

** Customized pressure variation enclosures if required
