​

Advanced Testing Infrastructure

Our Houston facility houses an Amtec test rig capable of replicating extreme service conditions to verify gasket performance and compliance.

The test rig is capable of testing to the following capabilities:

• Gasket Diameter: up to 6.3” (160 mm)

• Force: up to 225,000 lbs (100,000 kg)

• Internal Pressure: up to 2,900 psi (200 bar)

• Heating: up to 750°F (400°C)

• Helium Mass Spectrometer Leakage Detection: 10⁻¹⁰ to 10⁻¹ mbar·l/s
