When we put our name on it, you know it’s been tested, retested, and trusted to perform.
At FHE, we don’t guess. We test. . . and we do it by the book. Every piece of equipment that runs through our shop is held to the strictest standards in the field, using pressure formulas backed by both API guidelines and OEM specs.
Whether it’s 1.5x or 2x the working pressure, we test it right, never pushing past what the gear’s built to handle, but never letting anything slide either. We offer four levels of hydrostatic testing and certification, and every one of them comes with a full digital certification package, so there’s a record for every bolt, every pass, every pound of pressure. When we say it’s ready, it’s because we’ve proved it: on paper and in pressure.
