Test capabilities

In addition to full-scale manufacturing facilities the JSC HMS Livgidromash is in possession of experimental facilities and test capabilities, which are made of different certified laboratories, unique test benches, prototype production shops and work shops of limited edition (by small batches) of equipment. 
Test facilities of JSC HMS Livgidromash is constantly upgraded and modernized: thus it makes possible to maintain up-to-dateness, business demand, marketability (competitive performance) and top quality of our pump-relating products. 


Test operations center

At the JSC HMS Livgidromash all the produced pumps and electric pump units are subject to control and tests for the purpose of checking the conformity of quality levels with the requirements of standards, Specifications and agreements, test programs and procedures, as stated in relevant technical papers for the products.

Test operations center of the JSC HMS Livgidromash has a long-term operational experience in performance of preliminary (initial) trials, acceptance testing, state acceptance procedures, qualification inspections, approval tests, sampling & routine testing of manufactured pumps and electric pump units on their base.

The tests are carried out by competent, highly-skilled specialists just at the certified test equipment. In total there are more than 100 test benches at the enterprise, intended for carrying out all kinds of tests.

Test operations center of JSC HMS Livgidromash was attested by Federal State Institution «State Regional Center of Standardization, Metrology and Testing in the Orel region, accredited by state-base atomic energy corporation ”Rosatom”.

Central Factory laboratory

Central factory laboratory of JSC HMS Livgidromash gained knowledge of half a century and was attested by federal state regional center on standardization, metrology and test performance in Orel region, the staff members of Central factory laboratory were attested in JSC NIKIMT Atomstroy, t. Moscow,  on destructive and non-destructive testing methods.

The central factory laboratory consists of 6 laboratories; each laboratory is to carry out necessary trials and checks by using different methods: namely, incoming inspections, control during current production stages, control of materials and final goods inspections in conformity with state and international standards.

The non-destructive testing laboratory attested by the JSC NPI CNIITMASH performs visual inspection control, liquid penetrant testing, ultrasonic and electric controls. For the purpose of carrying out ultrasonic checks the laboratory is equipped with flaw detectors including phased array ultrasonics; the electrical technique is put in execution by defectoscopes in order to control uniformity of paint-and-lacquer coatings, polymer coats, epoxy finish, bitumen insulating covers of the gas- and pipelines, tanks and reservoirs and other metal structures.
