What We Test

Comprehensive Evaluation Parameters.

Tests are grouped by type. Under each test you can see which products it is run on, so you can check it fits your sample before sending it in.

Mechanical Testing

Evaluates the structural strength and durability of pipes and fittings under tensile, pressure, impact and bending loads to confirm they meet performance requirements.

Applies to: PVC pipes, HDPE pipes, PP-R pipes, CPVC pipes, Pipe fittings, Plastic pipes

Tensile Strength & Elongation

Measures the pulling force a pipe withstands before yielding and how far it stretches.

Applies to: PVC pipes, HDPE pipes, PP-R pipes, CPVC pipes

Hydrostatic Pressure Testing

Subjects pipes to sustained internal water pressure to confirm burst and creep resistance.

Applies to: PVC pipes, HDPE pipes, PP-R pipes, CPVC pipes, Pipe fittings

Impact Resistance Testing

Drops a weighted striker onto the pipe to assess resistance to sudden impact.

Applies to: PVC pipes, CPVC pipes, Pipe fittings

Compression Testing

Applies axial load to determine the pipe's resistance to crushing or deformation.

Applies to: PVC pipes, HDPE pipes

Flattening Test

Compresses the pipe between plates to check for cracking before a set deformation limit.

Applies to: PVC pipes, HDPE pipes

Bend Test

Assesses flexibility and crack resistance when the pipe is bent to a specified radius.

Applies to: Plastic pipes

Thermal Testing

Assesses how pipe material behaves under heat exposure and long-term thermal stress, confirming dimensional stability and resistance to deformation.

Applies to: PVC pipes, CPVC pipes, Pipe fittings, HDPE pipes

Vicat Softening Temperature Test

Determines the temperature at which the material begins to soften under a defined load.

Applies to: PVC pipes, CPVC pipes, Pipe fittings

Reversion Test (Longitudinal Reversion)

Measures dimensional shrinkage or expansion along the pipe's length after heat exposure.

Applies to: PVC pipes, HDPE pipes

Polymer Testing

Analyzes the base polymer's flow and oxidative properties to confirm consistent material quality and predictable processing behavior.

Applies to: HDPE pipes, PP-R pipes

Melt Flow Index (MFI)

Measures how easily the molten polymer flows, indicating consistency and processability.

Applies to: HDPE pipes, PP-R pipes

Oxidation Induction Time (OIT)

Determines how long the material resists oxidative degradation under heat and oxygen.

Applies to: HDPE pipes, PP-R pipes

Inspection

Visual and dimensional checks confirm pipes and fittings meet specified tolerances and are free of manufacturing defects.

Applies to: All pipes, Pipe fittings

Dimensional & Visual Inspection

Checks outer diameter, wall thickness and surface finish against specified tolerances.

Applies to: All pipes, Pipe fittings

Performance Testing

Verifies that pipe systems maintain leak-proof joints and withstand environmental conditions over their expected service life.

Applies to: Pipe fittings, Jointed pipe systems, Plastic pipes

Leakage & Joint Integrity Testing

Verifies that pipe joints and fittings remain leak-free under working pressure.

Applies to: Pipe fittings, Jointed pipe systems

Environmental Stress Testing

Exposes the material to weathering conditions to evaluate long-term durability.

Applies to: Plastic pipes

Optical Testing

Measures material opacity to confirm consistent pigmentation and wall thickness uniformity.

Applies to: Plastic pipes

Opacity Test

Measures light transmission through the pipe wall to confirm pigment and thickness consistency.

Applies to: Plastic pipes
