Pressure testing applications include various applications such as autofrettage, cycle/fatigue testing, hydrostatic testing, impulse testing, and leak testing. These are divided into two main sections, gas pressure testing and liquid pressure testing.

Liquid applications range in pressures from 10,000 to 200,000 psig (69 to 1400 MPa). Process fluids include non-corrosive (hydraulic oil, water). These include autofrettage, cycle/fatigue testing, hydrostatic testing and impulse testing.

For gas applications, Hydro-Pac manufactures equipment for standard pressure ranges of 1,500 to 60,000 psig with gases that include Argon, Carbon Dioxide (CO2), Compressed Natural Gas (CNG), Helium, Hydrogen, Methane, Nitrogen and mixtures of these gases. Gas compressors can also be provided for ultra-high pressures up to 175,000 psig and speciality gases.
