How We Add Value?
Engineering Design
We specialize in end-to-end pressure management component design for aerospace applications. Leveraging advanced rupture disk technology as the core of our relief and activation solutions, our engineers can also integrate complementary pressure control components and welded assemblies to meet your unique operational requirements. From concept through qualification, we’ll architect a custom solution to optimize safety, reliability, and performance.
Product Testing
Non-Destructive (NDT) Inspection
Comprehensive visual inspection, liquid penetrant testing, and radiographic testing in accordance with ASTM E1417 and ASTM E1742 to detect surface and subsurface flaws without compromising component integrity.
Helium Leak Testing
Quantitative leak-rate analysis using helium tracer gas per ASTM F2391, ensuring your assemblies meet the most stringent leakage thresholds for space and flight critical hardware.
Positive Material Identification (PMI) Testing
Non-destructive chemical analysis via X-ray fluorescence (XRF) and optical emission spectroscopy (OES) to verify material composition, alloy grade, and trace element conformity per ASTM E415 and AMS 2770.
Hydrostatic Shell / Proof Testing
Controlled hydraulic or pneumatic pressurization of assembly housings to designated pressures, validating structural integrity under expected operating conditions.
Housing Burst / Tensile Testing
Over-pressurization to failure for maximum burst-pressure characterization, validating design and safety margins above the system’s Maximum Expected Operating Pressure (MEOP) or Maximum Allowable Working Pressure (MAWP).
Plus Testing
Burst-pressure verification below nominal burst point to ensure disks do not fail prematurely, guaranteeing predictable relief performance.
Pressure Cycle Testing
Custom fatigue analysis by cycling disks to customer-specified pressures, revealing susceptibility to pressure-induced material fatigue.
Vacuum Annealing
High-temperature heat treatment in a vacuum atmosphere to prevent oxidation, stabilizing disk metallurgy and eliminating micro-leakage paths.
Additional Services
Precision Cleaning
Multi-stage precision cleaning to remove contaminants, followed by vacuum bake-out drying, ensuring surfaces meet IEST-STD-CC1246E cleanliness levels for sensitive aerospace hardware.
Passivation
Chemical passivation per ASTM A967 and AMS 2700 to remove free iron and enhance corrosion resistance through a uniform, protective oxide layer.
