Test bench

Tightness test bench

At Epidor, we design and build our own test benches in order to obtain a comprehensive leak tightness analysis and to support the reliability of the products before their implementation in industrial environments.

Our technical department works together with external entities such as universities or technology centers, adding academic knowledge and industrial experience. An example would be the test bench for hydraulic seals developed jointly with the Polytechnic University of Catalonia.

This technical sealing resource is oriented towards the validation of hydraulic seals and the approval of seals under precise temperature and pressure conditions.

Through comparative seal tightness testing, companies interested in optimizing hydraulic designs can:

  • Get first-hand knowledge of the actual performance of your seals and sealing components.
  • Test with different types of gaskets.
  • Verify the resistance of the sealing gaskets.
  • Expose joints to critical parameters.

Testing the tightness of seals is especially useful for entities seeking to correct or optimize hydraulic designs, as well as for projects requiring rigorous measurements on professional watertight benches.

Does your company need to perform leak tests?

Epidor's R&D team assists during the process, assisting in the selection of the appropriate seal and offering advice on possible hydraulic design optimization adjustments.

Frequently asked questions about the leak test bench

What is a leak test bench?
It is a controlled environment for comparative leak testing to verify the performance of seals under different pressure and temperature conditions.
What test benches does Epidor have?
At Epidor we have different test benches, such as fatigue, leakage and friction test benches for heavy hydraulic seals.
What are the main parameters analyzed?
Seals are tested for tightness by recording pressure and temperature variations to determine their performance.
Who can use this leak test bench service?
Companies and projects that need reliable testing, whether for seal approval, validation of hydraulic seals and their designs or technical review of sealing solutions.
Why is it important to perform leak tests?
Performing this type of leak testing on seals provides accurate information on the quality of the seals, allowing adjustments in early stages of development and reducing risks in final applications.
