Design Proof Test (Burst Test)
Burst Test as per ASME B16.9, MSS SP 97 and any other standard
Subodh Material Technologists (an NABL Accredited Lab) has introduced the Design Proof Test (often referred to as ‘Burst test’) as per ASME B16.9 & MSS SP 97

18 inch Spool prepared at Subodh Labs Rabale Mumbai for Burst / Design Proof Test
Design Proof Test:
To qualify the design of the pipe fitting & ensure that design meets the standard & code requirements, various tests including burst test are conducted.
In this test, a pipe & fittings are welded and a dummy pipe spool is prepared. This pipe spool is then pressurized to pre-defined calculated design proof test pressure.
If the fittings withstand the test, all future product manufactured using that design will be considered safe to use.
Also with safety being paramount during these critical and dangerous tests, Subodh Material Technologists ensures that all tests are carried out in a SAFE manner.
New Requirement as per Code for SS fittings:
Under the latest and revised requirements of the Standard (ASME B16.9 – 2018) materials are now divided into groups, thereby mandating Design Proof Tests to be carried out separately for Carbon Steel and Stainless Steel Fittings.
We at Subodh Technologists aim to provide a ONE STOP SHOP Solution for your Design Proof Test requirements.
How Can We Provide End To End Solutions for complying with above:
1>Recommendation on optimum size to be tested which ensures maximum coverage of Diameter Range, Thickness Range and Material Range.
2>Preparation of Spool by welding done by our Expert Welder, with utmost precision at lab.
3>Lab Testing (Chemical and Mechanical as per Specification) of the TEST FITTING.
4>Hydro Testing as per calculations.
5>Guaranteed Design, Pressure, Diameter and Thickness Calculations on Reports on our Laboratory Letter Head.
