Stealth-Lock

HIGHEST INTEGRITY VALUES!

Once you’ve watched the video to see how the Stealth-Lock mechanical interference fit system works, expand this link to see how Stealth-Lock has been third-party validated by some of the best laboratories in the world including Stress Engineering in Houston and Southwest Research Institute (SwRI), San Antonio, Texas.

Southwest Research Institute, Texas

Southwest Research Institute (SwRI), headquartered in San Antonio, Texas, is one of the oldest and largest independent, nonprofit, applied research and development organizations in the United States. Founded in 1947, SwRI provides independent testing, analysis and reporting to Stealth-Lock MIF, aligned with our continued objectives to Research and Develop our Mechanical Interference Fit technology. Stealth-Lock is proud to align with SwRI who have been actively serving the needs of our pipeline industry for over 30 years. 

SwRI is an internationally recognized center for material property, corrosion, fracture mechanics, and failure analysis services for metallic and nonmetallic components. SwRI provides contract research and development services to Stealth-Lock and other industrial, hydrocarbon and government clients in the United States and beyond.   http://www.swri.org

 

Stress Engineering, Houston

Quality compliance and pipeline integrity is at the vanguard of our Stealth-Lock MIF system. In order to uphold and to continually improve upon our standards, we rely upon a handful of world renowned and truly independent research and testing laboratories. Stress Engineering Services based in Houston, Texas is one such renowned leader in mechanical testing of; force, load, tension, pressure, fatigue, temperature, HPHT, noise, vibration, torque, strain, creep, and displacement. 

Our R&D engineers work with test engineers and technicians at Stress Engineering in a combined effort to improve upon and validate the performance of the Stealth-Lock Mechanical Interference Fit technology. Clients can be sure in the knowledge that Stress Engineering test results are completely independent, objective, and trusted by all of the major oil and gas operators worldwide.  http://www.stress.com
