Hydrostatic Pressure Testing Equipment & Shop Test Units by MEYER
MEYER’s Hydrostatic Shop Test Units are designed to efficiently and safely test pressure in BOPs, wellheads, and valves within a controlled shop environment. We provide hydrostatic valve testing equipment powered by electricity, diesel, gas, or air, along with optional remote panel operation. Our hydrostatic pressure testing equipment enhances operator safety by mitigating pressure hazards.
Hydrostatic Shop Test Units for Pressure Testing
MEYER’s hydrostatic shop test units are engineered to perform controlled hydrostatic pressure tests in a safe, reliable shop environment. These hydrostatic test systems are commonly used for BOP hydrostatic pressure testing, wellhead pressure testing, and valve testing across oil and gas operations.
We offer electric, diesel, gas, and air-powered hydrostatic pressure test units, including hydrostatic pressure testing machine rentals and portable hydrostatic test equipment. Optional remote pressure test panel operation increases operator safety and efficiency.

Controlled Hydrostatic Pressure Testing
Controlled hydrostatic pressure testing is essential before transporting critical components to the field. Our hydrostatic pressure test equipment ensures that both new and used pipes are safe and leak-free by conducting thorough pressure evaluations.
The testing process begins by filling vessels or pipelines with a dyed liquid, which allows for easy visual detection of any leaks. Once filled, the equipment is pressurized using a hydraulic or hydrostatic pressure testing unit. During this phase, any pressure loss or leak becomes apparent through changes in pressure readings or visible fluid escape.
This comprehensive testing process helps ensure compliance with safety standards and allows teams to identify and address potential issues before the equipment is deployed to the field.
Controlled hydrostatic pressure testing with a shop test unit begins with filling vessels or pipelines with a liquid that is typically dyed to visually verify any leaks or pressure issues. Next, the pressure testing unit pressurizes the component being tested to a certain pressure, testing for any pressure loss. If there is a leak or loss of pressure, the test liquid helps to identify the location of a leak, allowing the technicians to properly diagnose and fix any pressure and leakage issues.
Hydrostatic shop test units are one of the most widely used processes for precisely testing pipes and pressure vessels in the oil and gas industry. Pressure testing in a controlled environment allows for the testing and verification of the quality of equipment, ensuring that each piece of equipment is aligned with safety regulations and protocols before being placed into the field. A controlled testing environment allows for safer hydrostatic pressure testing and more accurate diagnosis of issues, should any problems arise.
