Professional services are available to conduct site examinations and associated equipment/ appliance testing to determine explosion cause and origin and to provide written opinion reports to document findings. Functional testing of appliances and equipment include:

  • Gas and oil fired boilers

  • Furnaces

  • Water heaters

  • Ranges

  • Space heaters

  • Pressure regulators

  • Meters

  • Control systems


Engineering evaluations and testing activities which are provided include:

  • On-site retrieval of specimens and equipment

  • Chemical analysis

  • Macro and Microscopic examination

  • Products of combustion analysis

  • Pressure and temperature recording

  • Conductivity, voltage and amperage readings


In addition, analytical evaluations and tests related to physical explosions resulting from compressible and non-compressible fluid pressures are performed. Evaluations performed include hydraulic (oil and water) as well as compressed noncombustible vaporous and gaseous explosions. Exemplary equipment typically evaluated includes air compressors and air
distribution systems, bottle gases, steam boilers, stills and heaters, tanks and similar types of equipment.
