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

  • Medical Regulators
  • Industrial Regulators
  • Cylinder Valves
  • Valve Integrated Pressure Regulators (VIPRs)
  • Flexible Hoses
  • Scuba Valves & Regulators
  • Aerospace
  • And More

Test Capabilities

  • Oxygen pressure surge (i.e., adiabatic compression, oxygen pressure shock, resistance to ignition, compression heating, ignition testing, gaseous fluid impact sensitivity)
  • Promoted Ignition (i.e., ignition pill, contaminated adiabatic compression)

"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."
