Hydrofoam / Flexofoam Testing

Dexon’s Hydrofoam / Flexofoam Testing Services 

What is Hydrofoam / Flexofoam Testing? 

Hydrofoam and flexofoam testing are innovative non-destructive testing (NDT) techniques used for leak detection and integrity assessment in pipelines, storage tanks, and other critical infrastructure. These methods use specialized foaming agents to identify defects such as leaks, cracks, and porosity in welds and material surfaces.  

Unlike traditional hydrostatic testing, hydrofoam and flexofoam provide a more targeted and efficient approach to identifying leaks without requiring excessive water usage or prolonged downtime. 

Industries such as oil and gas, petrochemicals, water utilities, and manufacturing rely on hydrofoam and flexofoam testing to maintain asset integrity and ensure compliance with industry standards. Dexon Technology’s advanced foam-based testing solutions help operators detect leaks early, optimize maintenance, and reduce environmental impact. 

Common Problems and How Hydrofoam / Flexofoam Testing Provides Solutions 

Leak detection and integrity assessment are crucial for ensuring operational safety and efficiency.  

Key challenges include: 

• Undetected Leaks and Cracks: Small leaks can go unnoticed, leading to costly failures and environmental hazards. 

• Excessive Water Usage in Hydrostatic Testing: Traditional hydrostatic testing requires large volumes of water, which can be impractical in certain environments. 

• Extended Downtime for Inspection: Conventional leak detection methods often require lengthy shutdowns, impacting productivity. 

• Regulatory Non-Compliance: Industries must meet strict safety and environmental regulations regarding leak prevention and containment. 

Hydrofoam and flexofoam testing address these challenges by: 

• Enhancing Leak Detection Sensitivity: Foaming agents create visible bubbles at leak sites, making even minor defects easy to identify. 

• Reducing Water and Resource Consumption: Requires significantly less water compared to hydrostatic testing, improving sustainability. 

• Minimizing Downtime: Rapid application and detection allow for efficient inspections with minimal operational disruption. 

• Ensuring Compliance with Industry Standards: Meets stringent testing requirements for pipeline and storage tank integrity assessments. 

By integrating hydrofoam and flexofoam testing into maintenance programs, Dexon Technology helps clients improve leak detection accuracy, reduce risks, and enhance environmental responsibility.
