Proof Load Testing

Proof Load Testing is a mechanical testing method used to verify the strength and load-bearing capacity of equipment, lifting devices, structural components, and pressure-retaining items. The test ensures that the component can safely sustain the specified load without permanent deformation or failure.

Applications of Proof Load Testing:

• Lifting equipment such as cranes, hoists, chains, and slings
• Pressure vessels, storage tanks, and pipelines
• Anchors, fasteners, and structural bolts
• Offshore and marine equipment
• Construction equipment and safety-critical components

Procedure: The component is subjected to a predetermined test load (usually higher than the working load limit) under controlled conditions. The load is maintained for a specified duration to check for deflection, deformation, or failure before certification.

Standards Followed: ASME, API, BS EN, ISO, IS standards, and client-specific requirements.

We provide reliable Proof Load Testing services with certified reports, ensuring compliance, safety, and performance for industries such as Oil & Gas, Power Generation, Manufacturing, Marine, Aerospace, Construction, and Heavy Engineering.
