Pressure & Leak Testing Enclosures
Pressure and leak testing operations — hydrostatic burst, pneumatic functional, helium trace, and air-decay leak tests — require enclosures that protect operators from part failure events, contain test media, and provide the acoustic isolation needed to run sensitive leak detection equipment in a production environment. Our modular aluminum enclosures are engineered for the specific pressures, media, and access requirements of your test process.
Engineered for Safe, Reliable Test Operations
A pressure test enclosure must do three things well: protect operators, contain the test environment, and allow efficient part loading and test cycle access. Our modular system delivers all three.
Blast-Attenuating Panel Options
Polycarbonate and reinforced aluminum panel options rated for the pressure and fragment energy levels associated with your highest-pressure test specification.
Access Interlock Provisions
Door interlock provisions prevent enclosure access while pressure is applied, meeting OSHA and ASME requirements for personnel protection during pressurized test cycles.
Test Media Containment
Floor sealing strips and drain provisions contain hydrostatic test water and pneumatic test oil within the enclosure perimeter — keeping test areas clean and compliant.
Acoustic Attenuation
Dense panel construction attenuates test cycle noise to support sensitive leak detection equipment and reduce operator exposure to repetitive impact sounds from test fixture cycling.
Ventilation for Test Gases
Provisions for mechanical exhaust ventilation when testing with pressurized gases, tracers, or refrigerants — meeting OSHA 29 CFR ventilation requirements for test gas handling.
Fixture & Tooling Integration
T-slot aluminum structure accommodates fixture mounting rails, test stand integration, part handling equipment, and instrumentation mounts without field welding or modification.
Pressure & Leak Testing Applications
Pressure and leak integrity is a functional requirement across virtually every fluid-handling component and assembly. Our test enclosures serve the full range.
- Automotive Fluid System Components — Hydrostatic and pneumatic test enclosures for engine blocks, transmission cases, fuel system components, brake calipers, and coolant fittings at production cycle rates.
- Hydraulic & Pneumatic Components — High-pressure test enclosures for hydraulic cylinders, valves, manifolds, and pneumatic actuators tested to operating and burst pressure specifications.
- Medical Device Pressure Testing — Clean enclosures for FDA-compliant pressure and leak testing of infusion pumps, respiratory devices, and sterile fluid containers.
