Fatigue Testing
Advanced fatigue testing for long-term durability
We provide advanced Fatigue Testing services for critical oil and gas components to evaluate their durability under cyclic loading conditions. Our testing capabilities simulate real-world operational stresses — such as pressure and load, mechanical vibrations, and thermal cycling — to assess component performance over time. Our data-driven approach helps mitigate failure risks, extend service life, and enhance operational safety.
-
Our resonant fatigue applies oscillatory vibrations to test structural capabilities:
Test frequencies up to 30 Hz
Up to 2.5 million cycles per day
Pipe sizes from 3-½" to 14" diameter
Fully automated control systems
24/7 operational capability
We apply fully alternating bending cycles around the full circumference, simulating realistic operational fatigue loading for girth welds and mechanical connectors.
-
Our rotary fatigue simulates combined rotational and bending stresses:
Sample rotation up to 30 RPM
Maximum outer diameter: 6 inches
Up to 40,000 cycles per day
Wireless strain gage capabilities
Combined pressure and rotation testing
This testing determines how components handle rotational and bending forces simultaneously, often while under pressure.
-
For components experiencing high stresses with plastic deformation:
Controlled application of cyclic loads
Combined axial and bending fatigue
Integration with pressure cycling
Temperature-controlled fatigue testing
Comprehensive strain measurement
-
Real-world fatigue rarely occurs under simple conditions. We can combine:
Multiple cyclic load types simultaneously
Pressure and load cycling together
Thermal cycling during fatigue testing
Complex load sequences and spectra
Realistic field condition simulation
-
Oil and Gas: Premium connections, drill pipe, riser connections
LNG: Connections for liquid natural gas applications
Geothermal: Equipment for geothermal energy systems
Carbon Capture: Components for carbon capture applications
Industrial: Manufacturing equipment durability
Aerospace: Critical component testing
Robotics: System component testing
-
Patented control software for precise operation
High-speed data acquisition systems
Real-time monitoring and safety controls
Automated test sequences
Remote monitoring capabilities
-
Many equipment failures result from repeated stress cycles over time, not single overloads. Fatigue testing:
Predicts long-term durability
Identifies potential failure mechanisms
Validates design life expectations
Supports preventive maintenance planning
Ensures reliable field performance
