Certificates
UHP Pressure test certificate
Quality Assurance inspects the hose assembly before it undergoes proof testing on the assembly validation test rig. Pressure and seal testing of HELIX® hoses is performed at 100%. Upon successful completion of testing, Quality Assurance issues a certificate of conformity, which is attached to each hose assembly.
To perform proof pressure testing on all HELIX® hose assemblies, Transfer Oil has installed a 6.000 bar (87,000 psi) proof pressure test stand, capable of pressurizing assembled hoses with a programmable pressure curve.
In this section, you can search for a specific EN 10204 - 3.1 certificate by simply filling in the part number, batch number and serial number of your hose assembly.
