Hyperbaric Test Center
The Hyperbaric Testing Center has always integrated the technological developments that make it a unique research, testing, measurement and validation center. The center welcomes actors from the underwater industries, offshore oil and gas, offshore construction, mechanical, nuclear, aeronautics, Defence, space, medical and scientific research.
A unique test platform
The center extends its activities to any internal or external pressure material testing. These tests are carried out in a series of chambers, with various working pressures and of different sizes, suitable for equipment with volumes ranging from a few deciliters to several cubic meters.
Validation of equipment in hyperbaric
Hydrostatic tests up to 2000 bar pressure
Measurement of volume variation under constraints
Instrumentation, automation and data acquisition
Tests in regulated and controlled temperature enviroment
All types of fluids (Gas / Liquid)
A wide range of testing facilities
Le Centre accueille des compagnies du secteur pétrolier, offshore, mécanique, nucléaire, aéronautique, de la Défense, du spatial ainsi que des acteurs de la recherche médicale et scientifique.
