Inspection and Testing

All Duragas compressors are tested in accordance with API Standard 619, or ISO 1217 if you prefer, with slip tests in accordance with section 4.52 of ASME Performance Test Code 9 ‘Displacement Compressors, Vacuum Pumps and Blowers’. In addition to a blower bench test, we carry out performance testing of complete packages. All instruments are calibrated to nationally accepted standards. We have full inspection capabilities using 3D co-ordinate measuring equipment and manual inspection equipment. All tests can be witnessed.
