Oxygen Component Qualification Testing

Component qualification tests are used to help determine if critical equipment is safe to use in oxygen systems. Requirements are set by numerous international standards, including ASTM, ISO, CGA, and EN. Our services include tests like oxygen pressure surge test, promoted ignition test, and more. Our engineers provide consulting services and hazard analyses of components to mitigate risk and ensure they comply with industry standards.  Additional conformance testing is also available.

Components Tested Database

Explore our new and growing list of components from manufacturers who elect to publish their test results online. We are inviting our customers who have performed component testing at WHA to consider publishing their tested components and adding to this list.

"We found WHA staff to be knowledgeable, organized, and balanced in their approach and results, and we couldn’t have met this standard [EN 15001] in the required time frame across several manufacturing sites without their help."
