Rubber and Plastic Compound Development

 

The Alpine team will work with you to determine the chemical & physical properties of your material. We will then work with you to develop a plan that will allow you to optimize your material: increase performance, reduce cost, meet or exceed specifications, and give your company the solutions you need to win in the marketplace.

Design Assistance

​

Alpine can assist with the validation of

FEA and seal designs through

functional testing.

​

Example #1 - A seal gland on a large

wellhead tree can be recreated with a

small test fixture so that the seal system

can be validated at a variety of

temperatures and pressures. One can

then confidently send that seal system

to the customer for full scale

qualification.

​

Example #2 – Packer elements can be

set and pressure tested using a two

foot long test fixture to identify the

setting force, and the pressure holding performance envelope as a function of temperature. One can then confidently send that packer element stack to the customer for full scale qualification.
