Testing Procedures

With safety as a total and unspoken requirement of everything manufactured by Portobello-RMF, product testing is of supreme importance, but testing at all stages of construction is also fundamental to the engineering ethos of the company and an integral requirement of the many codes of practice and standards adopted by Portobello-RMF.

Once again, the diversity of products and materials makes the list of options almost endless, but the following illustrates the testing procedure and where appropriate, the equipment:

• Hydrostatic medium water testing
• Pneumatic testing - low and high pressure
• X-Ray testing
• Gamma source
• Magnetic particle inspection
• Ultrasonic test
• Leak detection
• Portable spectroscope
• Paint thickness
• Spark Testing
• Dye penetrant testing
• Ferrite detection
• Tensile testing
• Impact testing
• Chemical analysis
• PMI
