Our engineers ensure choke valves are properly configured for demanding field conditions.

Hyperbaric Testing

Master Flo Valve USA operates a custom-built Hyperbaric Test System in Houston, one of the largest of its kind in the United States, designed to validate the performance and integrity of choke valves and critical pressure control equipment under simulated subsea conditions.

This facility allows equipment to be tested at pressures equivalent to depths of up to 23,000 feet (7,000 meters) below sea level, reaching 10,000 PSI (690 bar). By insourcing this critical testing capability, Master Flo Valve USA reduces the risks, timelines, and costs associated with product qualification.

In addition to internal validation, Master Flo offers access to its hyperbaric testing system and technical expertise to customers and partners, providing a reliable and cost-effective alternative to offshore testing.

Testing Capabilities

Our hyperbaric testing system enables:

• Simulation of extreme subsea pressure conditions
• Validation of valve sealing and pressure integrity
• Functional testing of choke valves under load
• Performance evaluation of trim and materials
• Identification of potential failure points prior to deployment

Why Hyperbaric Testing Matters

In subsea and high-pressure applications, equipment reliability is critical. Hyperbaric testing provides confidence that choke valves and associated equipment will perform as expected in real-world conditions.

This capability helps:

Reduce operational and project risk
Improve equipment reliability and performance
Verify compliance with project specifications
Eliminate the need for costly offshore testing
