Hose testing solutions

Reliable hose performance starts with validation under the conditions your systems actually operate in. Hose testing helps identify weak points early and confirms whether hose assemblies can withstand the required pressure ranges and operational loads.

Depending on your application, different testing methods and pressure ranges may be required for liquid or gas hose systems. Resato develops high-pressure testing solutions tailored to these specific conditions, enabling accurate measurements and controlled testing environments for safe and reliable hose validation.

Reliable hose validation under pressure

Hose testing confirms whether hose assemblies can safely operate under the pressure conditions your application requires. By validating leak tightness, structural integrity and burst resistance, you reduce the risk of failures during operation and support compliance with industry standards.
Depending on the test objective, hoses can undergo proof, burst or leak testing using either liquid or gas as a test medium. Our systems support pressures up to 10,000 bar and are available with both manual and automated control options for safe and controlled testing. During testing, pressure behaviour and test results are automatically monitored and recorded for validation and generate certificates according to your test standards.
Gas pressure testing requires additional safety measures due to the energy stored in compressible media. Controlled pressure build-up and protected test environments help ensure safe testing conditions.

Resato’s testing methods

Different hose applications require different testing approaches. Depending on your operational conditions, hoses can be tested using hydrostatic or gas pressure testing systems, supported by manual or automated control configurations. Test systems are available with an integrated test cabinet or as a separate enclosure, with multiple cabinet sizes to accommodate different hose dimensions and testing requirements.

For hydrostatic hose testing, liquids are used as a test medium to validate hose integrity under pressures up to 10,000 bar. Gas hose testing uses compressed gases at pressures up to 3,000 bar to assess pneumatic hose performance under controlled conditions. Our hose testing equipment supports workshop, production and field testing environments, with configurable systems designed around your operational requirements, safety standards and workflow preferences. This means it can also be configured for testing hydrogen hoses.

Cycle Test

Cycle testing simulates long-term hose usage through repeated pressure cycles under controlled conditions. This helps evaluate durability, pressure behaviour and performance stability over time.
  • Up to 10,000 bar
  • Fluids or gas
  • Accurate temperature control

Burst Test

Burst testing determines the maximum pressure a hose assembly can withstand before failure occurs. This controlled destructive test validates safety margins and material strength under extreme pressure conditions.
  • > 3000 bar
  • Fluids
  • Integrated burst box

Proof test

Proof testing verifies whether a hose can safely hold a predefined pressure level during a controlled test cycle. This confirms structural integrity and reliable performance before operation.

  • Up to 10,000 bar
  • Fluids or gas
  • Various (integrated) test cabinets

Leak test

Leak testing checks whether a hose assembly maintains stable pressure without measurable leakage. Controlled testing conditions support accurate detection of sealing weaknesses and pressure loss.

  • Up to 10,000 bar
  • Fluids or gas
  • Permeation testing possible

How is safety guaranteed?

Hose failures under high-pressure conditions can lead to serious safety risks, operational downtime and costly damage. Hose pressure testing helps identify weaknesses before hoses are put into operation, reducing the risk of leaks, bursts and hydraulic injection injuries. To ensure safe testing conditions, pressure tests are performed in controlled environments with protected test setups and monitored pressure build-up procedures. Reliable certification data confirms hose integrity and supports both compliance requirements and operational confidence in critical applications.
