The Role of Pressure Testing in Mission-Critical Industries

In sectors like energy, aerospace, and medical technology, component failure isn’t an option. That’s why pressure testing plays a vital role in verifying the safety and reliability of parts before they reach the field. At Oliver Manufacturing, we design and build custom pressure testing systems that ensure your components perform under the toughest conditions.

What Is Pressure Testing?

Pressure testing simulates operational stress to ensure a component can withstand intended pressure levels. This can include burst testing, leak detection, and endurance cycling. It helps identify potential weak points, ensuring parts are safe, reliable, and meet regulatory requirements.

Industries That Rely on Pressure Testing:

  • Aerospace: Ensures fuel and hydraulic systems hold up under altitude changes.
  • Medical Devices: Confirms that devices like infusion pumps and valves maintain performance.
  • Energy: Validates piping and casing used in gas and oil applications.
  • Water Infrastructure: Confirms seals, joints, and valves meet municipal codes and environmental standards.

Why Customization Matters

Off-the-shelf test systems can’t always accommodate your part geometry, cycle needs, or testing media. That’s where Oliver’s in-house engineering makes the difference. We build pressure testing rigs to your specs—down to sensor selection, safety interlocks, and reporting.

Engineering for Confidence

Our pressure testing platforms integrate programmable controls, real-time data monitoring, and automated safety protocols. The result? Faster testing, higher accuracy, and more confidence in every part.

If your parts operate under pressure, don’t leave performance to chance. Partner with Oliver Manufacturing to develop testing systems that ensure safety and reliability from the start.
