Testing

Comprehensive in house testing include hydraulic test facilities to 60,000 psi (4136bar), gas and permeation testing to 6,000psi (410bar).Tensile and flexture testing at proof pressure to well over 1 million cycles.

Every new batch of hose received is burst tested to destruction to ensure the hose and swaged fittings meet the required minimum burst pressure.

Quality

Unless specific tests are requested, all hose assembly batches receive a first off, and are proof pressure tested to a sampling plan in line with our quality system. Each assembly is then 100% visually inspected by the quality department before packing. We are fully committed to quality assurance, continuously providing products and service of the highest standard and maintaining an extremely high level of confidence and customer satisfaction. All production records are kept for a minimum of fourteen years in line with our OE customer requirements to give us full traceability

Production

Volume swaging of hose assemblies is performed on computerised Uniflex swaging machines, guaranteeing continuity to within 0.01mm. These swaging machines can be linked via computer, measuring and recording each swage dimension achieving SPC by the most accurate means and enabling continuous process capability study. All hose offers full traceability and all hose assemblies can be traced back to the individual customer works order form. This enables us to trace all raw materials used in the manufacture of your hose assemblies, should this be required.

We have been an ISO9000 registered company since 1990 and remain fully committed to our quality system as we strive for continuous improvement for the benefit of our customers. In line with our quality procedures, all third party suppliers are required to work to an approved quality system. Certificates of conformity are offered on all products at no extra cost.
