HYDRAULIC HOSE PRESSURE TESTING - PERTH & REGIONAL WA
UNDER PRESSURE.
BUILT TO HOLD.
Onsite hydraulic hose pressure testing, DAS sleeve replacement, and full hose replacement services across Western Australia — keeping your hydraulic systems safe, compliant, and operating at full capacity.
THE SERVICE
A BURST HOSE ISN'T A MAINTENECE PROBLEM.
ITS A SAFETY INCIDENT.
Hydraulic hoses are the critical link between your tools and your power source — and they operate under extreme pressure, in demanding environments, day after day. Wear, abrasion, fitting degradation, and age all quietly reduce a hose's integrity long before visible signs appear.
​
MCIS provides comprehensive hydraulic hose pressure testing as part of our onsite services across Perth and all of WA. Using hydrostatic pressure testing methods, we verify hose integrity against rated working pressures — identifying hoses that are at risk before they fail in the field. Where a hose is beyond serviceable condition, we can replace it on the spot from our fully equipped mobile calibration laboratory.

SAFETY FACTOR - BUILT INTO EVERY HOSE WE SUPPLY & TEST
MCIS hydraulic hoses are supplied and tested to a 4:1 safety factor — meaning the burst pressure of every hose is four times its rated working pressure. This isn't just an industry convention; it's a critical safety margin that protects your team from the catastrophic consequences of hose failure under load.
4:1
WHY HOSE CONDITION MATTERS MORE THAN YOU THINK
A hydraulic hose failure at high pressure isn't a slow leak — it's a sudden, high-energy release of hydraulic fluid that can cause serious injury, equipment damage, and immediate operational shutdown.
The risk is compounded by the fact that internal hose degradation is often invisible from the outside until it's too late.
​
Regular pressure testing is the only reliable way to confirm a hose is still operating within its safe working limits — and it's far less costly than an unplanned incident, a workers' compensation claim, or a regulator-mandated shutdown.
MOBILE LAB - REPLACEMENT HOSES BUILT ON YOUR SITE
One of the key advantages of MCIS is our fully equipped mobile calibration laboratory.
We don't just test and flag — we carry the materials and crimping equipment to manufacture replacement hose assemblies on your site, to your exact specifications and pressure ratings.
​
This means a failed hose doesn't have to mean a days-long wait for parts and a workshop visit. In most cases, your equipment can be back in service the same day — with a fully tested, documented replacement hose fitted onsite.
WHAT WE PROVIDE
HOSE SERVICES COVERED
HYDROSTATIC PRESSURE TESTING​
​
Each hose is pressure tested using hydrostatic methods — verifying integrity at and above rated working pressure to confirm the full 4:1 safety factor is maintained.
DAS SLEEVE REPLACEMENT​
​
The nylon burst protection sleeve (DAS) is a critical safety component on high pressure hoses. MCIS replaces worn or damaged DAS sleeves onsite, restoring full burst protection without the need to replace the entire hose assembly.
VISUAL CONDITION INSPECTION​
​
Beyond pressure testing, our technicians conduct a thorough visual inspection of each hose — checking for abrasion damage, kinking, fitting corrosion, and sleeve wear that could indicate a hose approaching end of service life.
ASSET RECORDS & REPORTING​
​
Every hose tested or replaced is logged in your asset management register — providing a traceable maintenance history and supporting compliance obligations across your hydraulic tooling fleet.
TOTAL HOSE REPLACEMENT​
​
Where a hose is beyond serviceable condition, our mobile calibration laboratory carries the stock and equipment to manufacture and fit a complete replacement assembly on your site — minimising downtime and getting your equipment back to work fast.
PREVENTATIVE MAINTENENCE PROGRAMS​
​​
MCIS can establish a scheduled hose inspection and testing program tailored to your site's usage patterns — ensuring hoses are assessed at appropriate intervals before wear becomes a safety risk.
DUTY OF CARE AND LEGAL OBLIGATION
WA mining operations have clear legal obligations around equipment safety and maintenance. Regular compliance inspections provide documented evidence that your duty of care is being met — protecting your business, your people, and your operating licence.
RISK REDUCTION
Equipment failures on mining sites don't just cause downtime — they can result in serious injury, fatality, and significant regulatory and legal consequences. Proactive inspections identify and eliminate risk before it becomes an incident.
THE BUSINESS CASE FOR PROACTIVE EQUIPMENT COMPLIANCE
WHY REGULAR COMPLIANCE INSPECTIONS MATTER
COST EFFICIENCY
Preventative maintenance consistently delivers better cost outcomes than reactive repairs. Identifying wear, damage, or non-conformance early is far less expensive than unplanned breakdown, equipment replacement, or incident remediation.
GOVERNANCE & AUDIT READINESS
MCIS inspections feed directly into your asset register — creating a traceable, timestamped compliance record across your entire equipment fleet. When your next audit comes around, your records are complete and ready.
