Why Pressure Testing Matters
Hydraulic hoses and components are subject to extreme pressure, vibration, and environmental stress. Over time, wear and tear can lead to performance decline, system leaks, or dangerous blowouts. Pressure testing identifies weak points in your system before failure occurs.
ACE Hoses uses calibrated equipment to test hoses to their rated working and burst pressures, ensuring the safety and reliability of your hydraulic system.
We perform pressure testing to:
Detect micro-leaks and fitting weakness
Validate new hose assemblies
Certify hoses for compliance and auditing
Support preventive maintenance programs
In-House Pressure Testing
Our Campbellfield facility is equipped with high-capacity test benches for testing up to 3,500 psi.
We service:
Earthmoving and construction machinery
Civil equipment and heavy vehicles
Manufacturing plants and hydraulic tools
Transport and logistics operations
Pressure Testing Certification
Following testing, we provide documentation detailing
Test pressure and duration
Hose ID and system references
Date and technician signature
Notes on performance or failures
This documentation can be used for internal safety records, industry audits, or compliance with client requirements.
How Often Should You Pressure Test?
Frequency depends on system usage and operating environment. High-cycle applications, exposure to chemicals or UV, and vibration-prone systems should be tested more regularly. We recommend:
Annual pressure testing for fleet and plant equipment
Testing after any major fluid contamination or repair
Testing new assemblies before deployment
Speak to our technicians to develop a tailored testing and inspection schedule for your operations.
