Italcontrol Test Benches are engineered for high-pressure testing, calibration, and validation of industrial valves, actuators, and piping systems. Available in multiple configurations—including vertical, horizontal, tilting, and multi-station designs—these systems support hydraulic and gas testing up to 4000 bar. Designed for compliance with international standards, they ensure reliable, repeatable testing across demanding industrial environments.
Italcontrol test benches and testing systems allow our customers to autonomously test the effectiveness and tightness of their valves.
Italcontrol Valve Test Benches provide advanced solutions for pressure testing, functional verification, and calibration of valves, actuators, and piping systems across a wide range of industrial applications. Designed with a strong focus on safety, flexibility, and compliance, these test systems support international standards including API, ANSI, DIN, ISO, and EN.
The portfolio includes vertical (VTS), horizontal (HTS), tilting (TTS), and multi-station (MTS) configurations, as well as dedicated systems for safety relief valves (SVA), actuators (ATS), and custom-engineered solutions. Each test bench is designed to adapt to specific valve sizes, pressure classes, and operational requirements, with automatic clamping systems and PLC-controlled testing cycles to ensure consistent and repeatable results.
With hydraulic testing capabilities up to 4000 bar and gas testing up to 2100 bar, Italcontrol systems enable accurate leakage detection, torque measurement, and functional performance testing. Advanced features such as cavity lines, vacuum systems, and automated data acquisition enhance testing efficiency and traceability.
These test benches are widely used in industries such as oil & gas, petrochemical, power generation, and aerospace, where reliability, safety, and compliance are critical. Custom configurations, including cryogenic and high-temperature testing, are available to meet specialized application needs.

VTS SERIES - Vertical Test Benches
In test benches with automatic running via PLC, the strength of the tightening of the valve under test is proportionally adjusted based on the class and the diameter of the same, to avoid compression or deformation of the valve body.
TTS SERIES - Tilting Test Bench
Series of test benches able to test the valve in horizontal, vertical or inclined (tilting) position to simulate the real work. In horizontal position it’s easier to place the valve into the test bench and it’s also possible to assembly some particulars as bellows, actuators, steering and so on.
HTS SERIES - Horizontal Test Benches
Horizontal valve test benches, for valves or pipes, in a symmetrical or inclined position at 45° or at 30°.
MTS SERIES - Multi-stations Test Benches
Test benches for multiple vertical tests up to 5 valves at the same time or on 2 stations of 5 valves independent of each other.
SVA SERIES - Safety Relief Valve Test Benches
Designed for testing and setting any type of safety and pilot operated valve according to API 526 and API 527.
ATS SERIES - Actuator Test Benches
Special test benches for valve actuator and spring insertion/testing.
STS SERIES - Tube Test Benches
Series of special test benches realized to comply with non-standard specifications or built with particular characteristics upon request.
SPECIAL - Special Test benches
Special test benches made on customer specification or on the base of particular requests.
Cryogenic Test Benches
Series of cryogenic test benches realized for tests at low or cryo temperature (from -50 °C to -196 °C) with valve locking system inserted inside the liquid nitrogen tank.
POWER PACK - Portable Control Units
ITALBOX - Mobile Workshop
Testing container, modular design that includes high pressure test system suitable for testing/calibration and maintenance of multiple equipment with gas/liquid. Fully remote operation from an integrated control room with operating console and accessories.
Bunkers and armored protection for high pressure testing realized on customer’s specifications.
