Hose Pressure Testing
I'm doing the annual on my CofA aircraft and I'm renewing some of the fluid hoses on the aircraft. There are only a half dozen in total; oil cooler and braking system.
They'll need pressure testing again in a few years and I wonder if anybody has the details of companies that will perform this to aviation standards and a rough idea of cost?
I'm based in Bucks/Berks area so anywhere local (ish) would be good or else I could post them.
Many thanks.

Hose Pressure Tests
Thanks J.C. however, I do the work on my CofA aircraft and my engineer signs off my work!
As long as the hoses meet the requirements of the pressure test they'll be fine. In fact, removing them to perform the test probably creates more of a risk. Car hoses experience much higher temperatures and you hardly ever see one of them fail these days do you?

Saywell International manufacture and test hoses. Take a look at their website: http://www.saywell.co.uk/pages/HoseShop.htm

On a Permit aircraft, one might consider using stainless braided hoses, which can take fantastic pressures. For example, Goodrige of Exeter make up replacement brake hoses to order. I recently replaced the rubber front brake hoses on my Yamaha TRX850 motorbike with Goodridge braided hoses and I am very pleased with the quality.

I'd recommend Goodridge too. Top quality products at reasonable prices, made to your spec and quick turn round time. I've used them for my gascolator to carb fuel line in my Jodel.
