Well Master must test and validate the robustness of one of our products called a Lubricator. These pressure tests are conducted one at a time and are very time consuming to bolt up flanges and plug outlets so the unit is pressure tight. There is also a need to capture and retain the pressure data so that it can be graphed and presented to the buying customer for validation. The test must follow a recipe that pressurizes the lubricator up to 7,500 PSI and holds it for 5 minutes. After the hold, the pressure is returned to 0 psi and then pressurize at 5,000 psi and 1000 psi for one minute each. Well Master would like ideas and concepts on how to do this process more efficiently and retain the pressure data in a format that can be stored on a server and easily accessed to print out for a customer as requested.
