Ext. Lab's for valve FIRE testing (in ITALY or near)

[NGiLuzzu]

With reference to archived thread408-114236 and in addition to the laboratories mentioned therein, does anybody know any other institutes able to perform tests according to API 607, ISO 10497 or similar?

The area of interest is Southern Europe, in particular Italy and surrounding countries.

Thanks to All in advance, 'NGL

There must be some one in Italy with the number of valve companies over there. Suggest you seek out an Italian valve manufacture and ask them for a recomendation.

cliff6361,
thanks for your hint (that's my thought too).

The point is that... I work for a Valve Manufacturer! ;-)
We usually perform such testing "at home", but nowadays we are considering to "outsource", due to the high workload of our "bunker" facilities.

Regards, 'NGL

At my knowledge, most attractive option is Yarmouth, in USA

Cost is relativly attractive and delay is compact.
