The Systems Division of Wilson Company (Wilson Systems) has launched IntelliTest®, the first fully-automated hydrostatic pressure non-destructive tester, for testing and recertification of critical iron parts for oil and gas fracking applications. It is intended to reduce operator intervention and increase repeatability, reliability and results.
IntelliTest tests to certify and recertify critical-use iron parts such as check valve, plugs valves and plumbing components, as well as fracking trucks and manifolds with the associated hoses and piping. The unique distinguishing feature of IntelliTest when compared to competing systems is its fully-automated intelligent operation. Once started, the test requires no operator intervention. The automation ensures test integrity, repeatability, traceability, and prevents over pressurizing the test specimen.
The system is operated either locally or remotely via PC or mobile device through a convenient touch screen. The screen provides test status and results. Many customers also currently choose to interface with the IntelliTest® from an information database for test parameters and results storage.
Scalable from 50 to 60,000 psi, each IntelliTest system is provided with on-board air and fluid conditioning. The extensive filtration increases uptime and simplifies maintenance. In existing customer installations, the highest wear items tested and certified with IntelliTest have lasted more than 10,000 cycles and take less than 20 minutes to maintain.
