An urgent order for 150 plus specialist hoses incorporating features such as ”series resistant trace heating”  for use on a project in China has recently been fulfilled by Buckley Industrial.

All hoses were pressure tested and inspected internally by videoscope after manufacture and delivered on time, complete with test certificates as appropriate.

In certain cases the testing specification called for nitrogen testing under water which was completed successfully and is a first at Buckley.

Buckley Industrial is among the first group of Companies to achieve the new ISO 9001:2008 quality standard, recently upgraded from the 2000 version. The new cerificate will shortly be added to the website.

E.ON UK plc has appointed Buckley Industrial to service the flexible pipework on the 4 9FA gas turbines at the Connah’s Quay site in North Wales.  The contract includes regular pressure testing and internal inspection of all stainless steel hose assemblies at the site.

Buckley has enjoyed a 12 year relationship with the Connah’s Quay plant and has been testing hose assemblies throughout that period.  During that time a “Quality Programme” has been agreed and has evolved over the years to reflect the level and detail of work carried out between the two Companies. This Quality Programme is an integral part of our “Flexible Hose Report” which is completed at the end of each piece of work and is accompanied by all the necessary certification.

All at Buckley are delighted that this work has been formalised in a 4 year service agreement.

Buckley Industrial has for several years vacuum tested flexible hose assemblies. We have recently acquired a new vacuum test rig which enables us to test to total vacuum (-29.92 inHg).  As with our hydrostatic test rigs, the vacuum test rig uses extremely sensitive tracking equipment which enables us to detect even the smallest leak in any flexible hose assembly that we test.  The new equipment allows us to test from small bore up to 300mm bore.

Buckley Industrial has purchased the latest technology videoscope from Karl Storz Industrial. The videoscope features interchangeable lens that provide various depths of field and view angles including a 90 degree direction of view.

General Manager, Steve Dransfield commented, our previous videoscope has served us well over the period but this new technology brings a whole new dimension to our work, the clarity of the photographs and the ability to measure any items found in the hose is helping to keep us at the forefront of the testing and inspection industry
