PROTEGO® Technology Center
We support our customers by developing and optimizing devices for protection against overpressure Overpressure Overpressure refers to an increase in pressure in a system or vessel above the normal operating pressure. and vacuum Vacuum Vacuum is the pressure in an enclosed space that is lower than the ambient pressure. , deflagrations, detonations and burning.
The world's largest flow test facility of its kind
Whatever complex and extreme your application, we will find a solution for you. We are specialists, not only specializing in what we have already developed, but also in developing the dedicated solutions you may require. Tailored devices are our day-to-day business.
The PROTEGO® technology center is equipped with the following test facilities: low pressure measurement systems, climate chamber, cryogenic test bench, salt spray chamber, valve test bench, mechanical workshop, laboratory and electrical laboratory.
Our products stand for quality and safety. The world's largest flow test facility of its kind, it is also an indispensable tool for internal research and development to enable correct scientific measurement of flow and meet specific customer requirements. All PROTEGO® valves and flame arresters Flame Arresters A flame arrester, deflagration arrester, or flame trap is a device or form of construction that will allow free passage of a gas or gaseous mixture but will interrupt or prevent the passage of flame. are flow tested to assure safe operation in service.
