Engineered testing and detection systems for verifying pressure integrity, identifying leaks and supporting reliable gas-system operation. PES provides hydro testing stations, cylinder testing stations, helium leak detection and gas leak detection solutions configured around the equipment, gas service and testing requirements.
Testing and detection can form an important part of equipment verification, pressure integrity assessment, cylinder testing, leak identification, installation commissioning, maintenance and quality control.
The appropriate test method depends on the equipment, service, applicable requirements and testing objective. PES approaches each arrangement as an engineering requirement rather than a catalogue purchase.

Core capabilities
Testing Systems Built Around the Requirement
PES can support testing-system engineering, integration and project execution according to the application and test objective.
01 / Pressure integrity
Hydro Testing Stations
Testing stations configured for suitable hydrostatic pressure-testing applications where equipment or components require pressure integrity verification. Controlled test setup, pressure testing, test-area configuration, measurement and monitoring, application-specific arrangement.
02 / Cylinder inspection
Cylinder Testing Stations
Dedicated testing arrangements for suitable gas-cylinder inspection and pressure-testing applications. Cylinder testing, controlled test environment, pressure measurement, test workflow, application-specific configuration.
03 / Tracer gas
Helium Leak Detection
Leak-detection systems using helium as a tracer gas for applications where sensitive leak identification is required. Helium tracer gas, leak identification, component testing, vacuum-system applications where appropriate, system verification.
04 / Gas presence
Gas Leak Detection
Gas detection systems designed to identify selected gases and provide monitoring or alarm functions appropriate to the application. Gas-specific detection, continuous or application-specific monitoring, alarm integration, equipment-room applications, system-level detection.
