Test
and certification
Increasingly, HSE legislation is demanding that all equipment
and machinery is periodically tested for performance and safety.
HTS has the necessary skills and test facilities to certify
that your equipment meets the relevant standards and is fit
for purpose. |

Load
testing
Load
testing can be performed on a range of diverse equipment
using our range of calibrated test facilities. Load
testing may need to be performed on your equipment including
the testing of cranes, cherry pickers, Hiabs etc. Test
certificates are issued for your records.
Pressure testing
HTS has testing and calibration facilities to 700bar
(10,000PSI). Our fully calibrated test bench has capability
to perform reciprocating tests on hydraulic rams, completing
hours of operational use in just a few minutes to ensure
that the equipment is fit for purpose and has been repaired
to a high standard. |

Jack
testing
Aircraft and machinery jacks are routinely tested on our special
purpose jack test rigs. We have capabilities to test aircraft
jacks to 50 tons. The load cells are fully certified and traceable
to national standards. Full certification is provided for your
records.
Gauge
calibration
HTS has the capability to test and certify Hydraulic pressure
gauges using our Budenberg rig. Our rig is certified to national
standards and ranges to 400 bar. Test certification is provided
with each gauge tested. |

Pressure
Systems Safety Regulations
As
of 2000 it has been mandatory for users of systems incorporating
gas under pressure to have in place a written scheme of examination.
Our engineers are certified to carry out these examinations
and provide full documentation to satisfy the regulations. |

System
Performance Tests
If you suspect there is a drop in performance from your
system, HTS has the necessary test equipment and skills
to perform full diagnostic testing on complete systems
or individual components. This can also be a valuable
tool if regular testing is a part of your maintenance
programme, as wear on components can become apparent
long before they would normally be noticed and proactive
repairs may be carried out to reduce downtime or further
damage to other parts of the system. |

IEE
periodic inspection
As members of the Electrical Contractors Association (ECA),
we are fully conversant with the ever changing safety testing
regulations. We perform IEE periodic inspection and documentation
for a large number of clients with records going back many
years. These include testing on systems we have designed and
built in house as well as systems built by others. This important
testing regime can highlight safety and operational issues
which can be dealt with in a controlled manner, therefore
avoiding severe accidents and even death of operatives or
members of the public.
PATS
testing
Portable appliance testing and certification has become the
norm in recent years. We offer this service to our clients
who have equipment in remote locations which we attend on
a regular basis. This would otherwise prove very costly to
perform as a one off test by their regular testing suppliers.
All tests are logged on our digital equipment and stored in
our computer database to ensure reliable record keeping. |

Oil
analysis
Oil is more than just a means of transferring fluid
power to actuators. Oil-bourne contamination accounts
for a large percentage of breakdowns in hydraulic systems.
Analysis is an important tool in the fight against premature
component failure. Oil contains many additives to enhance
the performance of the system such as anti oxidants,
anti foaming and anti sludge agents. These break down
over time, and it will not be apparent except by testing
that this is taking place. Regular oil testing can arrest
the harmful effects of system wear by providing ample
warning of system condition allowing preventative steps
to be taken. These simple tests can avoid very large
expense at a very small cost. |

Component
testing
HTS have been in the business of testing hydraulic and electrical
system components for many years. Our test rigs can efficiently
carry out full tests to pinpoint faults so components are
not changed on a “change it and find out” basis. |
