State-of-the-Art Facilities

Our labs are strategically located around the world and equipped with the latest technologies for analytical, mechanical, thermal, and environmental testing. As part of Dover Corporation, we have access to the Dover India Innovation Centre (DIIC) for additional sophisticated testing and validation capacity, including in-house, high-pressure hydrogen material testing.

Designed to handle the complexity of today’s industrial components, our facilities support a full spectrum of product and materials evaluation capabilities.

Compression Testing Capabilities

Located next to our Houston manufacturing facility, the Innovation Lab features a large, two-stroke reciprocating compressor; a small, high-speed reciprocating compressor frame, as well as special test setups and component-level test rigs to measure:

  • Valve flow dynamics, performance parameters, and leakage rates
  • Pressure packing or packing case performance under various speed, pressure, gas, cooling, or lubricant conditions.
  • Impact resiliency of materials for valve plates and sealing elements
  • Wear resistance of piston and rod ring materials
  • Component life and performance
  • Consulting services, including root cause analysis and new product development
