Erosion Testing

Screen Erosion Testing Facility

We offer sand control screen erosion and flow performance testing for both Dry Gas and Slurry.

• Capable to operate at 70 m/s of gas superficial velocity in 4" line. 
• Silica flour/sand used as erodent. 
• Screen erosion assessed via weight loss, MPP (API 19 SS), microscopic, and light table images.

ICD Testing

• Conduct AICD flow performance, cavitation and erosion test.
• Plugging Test as per API 19 ICD. 
• Capable to operate at high pressure of 150 bar with multiphase & single-phase flow, even with high-viscosity fluids

Sand Retention Testing

• Evaluates sand screen effectiveness and performs slurry and sand pack testing.
• It utilizes a 2" screen holder, flow of 100-5000 ml/min, up to 1000 psig.
• Slurry tests range from 1000 to 5000 ppm concentration.
• Deliverables include flow, pressure data, PSDs, and master curves.

Elbow Testing Facility

Major pipeline erosion occurs at elbows, tees, and reducers. We offer:

• Field-Scale Testing: 30m pipeline length.
• Variety of Pipe Sizes: From 1" to 8".
• High Flow Rates: Up to 2200 SCFM for gas, 150 Nm³/h for water.

Valve Erosion Testing Facility

Our facility offers control valve erosion study at field condition:

• Evaluate and monitor erosion rate and profile of valves in 1”to 4”.
• Perform test at high temperatures, pressure and flow rate with a constant sand feeding rate.

Sand Blast Facility

• Sand blast testing evaluates steel specimen coatings in a sand impingement cell. 
• Assess coating thickness loss via weight and thickness gauge.
• Allows airflow (10-50 m/s), particle size (> 100 μm), sand rate (> 1 Kg/h), and impingement angle (0-90^o) variations.

Burst Collapse Facility

• Determine the burst and collapse pressure rating of sand screen as per API 19SS.
• Conduct test up to (but not limited to) 1000 bar. 
• Formulation of Fluid Loss Control pill and Provision for Push – off test.
