Testing Capabilities


BIW Connector Systems' state-of-the art lab equipment and capabilities allow us to deliver key benefits to customers worldwide, including:
  • Improved product reliability from more rigorous and thorough testing
  • Reduced turnaround time on DIFAs
  • More accurate information means better design decisions


Environmental Chambers that Replicate Downhole Conditions are Essential

BIW Connector Systems has two primary chambers capable of simultaneous 650o F / 10,000 psi and 500oF / 6,500 psi conditions, complete with pressure and temperature cycling. In both chambers, the electrical performance of the device can be monitored throughout the test, giving us invaluable insight into its performance. We also employ an oven capable of 1,200o F to test thermal expansion and a 20,000 psi pressure vessel to test mechanical and sealing mechanisms.

The BIW Connector Systems' Testing Lab uses a Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscope for material identification in DIFA. BIW Connector Systems uses this Scanning Electron Microscope for material characterization in disassembly investigation failure analysis (DIFA). At BIW Connector Systems, we use this Thermo Gravimetric Analyzer in the design process for material studies. The Helium Mass Spectrometer allows BIW Connector Systems to perform helium leak testing on select electrical feedthru products. BIW uses this chamber to test downhole connectors at high temperatures and pressures in simulated downhole environments. BIW Connector Systems uses the CMM to perform precise measurements on complex tooling, machined & molded components, BIW Connector Systems performs hydrostatic testing at rated pressure on all electrical power feedthru connectors. BIW Connector Systems offers connectors suitable for up to 8KVAC. At these voltages, partial discharge is a special consideration. BIW Connector Systems builds electrical connector and feedthru products in many sizes; all threads are inspected regularly. BIW Connector Systems uses a Clamshell with temperatures up to 1200°F. At BIW Connector Systems, every environmental qualification is electrically monitored in-situ throughout the testing process.
