Physical modelling, with the aid of carefully constructed prototypes or actual equipment, scientifically scaled test facilities, and an appropriate choice of test fluid, is a reliable way to simulate a current operation. It helps clients to understand the component, system or process. It can be used to assess performance over projected lifetime, to explore the boundaries of design criteria, and to quantify the effect of modifications.

For more specific requirements, specialist test rigs provide excellent instrumentation and measurement facilities, and controlled operating conditions so that equipment can be tested reliably, to extreme limits if need be, safely and without interrupting normal operations.

For more unusual requirements, BHRSolutions' specialist model technicians and test engineers can also devise and construct custom-built test rigs to your requirements, for use in our laboratory or on your premises.
