Dover Precision Components, an integrated provider of performance-critical solutions for rotating and reciprocating machinery, recently announced its intent to offer advanced product and material testing capabilities to OEMs and end users. These services are designed to support product development engineers in validating designs, optimizing performance, and accelerating time to market.
The 12,000-square-foot flagship Innovation Lab opened in Houston, Texas, in 2022 and was built to centralize the company’s test rigs, bringing together the research and product development teams. As part of a network of facilities, the lab enables comprehensive analysis of products across their full development lifecycle, from early-stage concept validation through final performance verification under real-world operating conditions.
“When your reputation is built on precision, reliability, and performance, testing is not just an option, it’s a competitive advantage,” said Burak Bekisli, director of Innovation. “Our lab services are designed to act as a true extension of our customers’ engineering teams, providing the advanced testing, analysis, and collaboration required to bring high-performance and mission-critical solutions to market with confidence.”
The Dover Precision Components labs offer a full suite of services tailored to the needs of design and product development engineers working across turbines, compressors, and rotating equipment systems, including prototype validation and design optimization, enabling engineers to refine components before full-scale production; failure mode and root cause analysis, delivering data-driven insights to solve complex performance challenges; accelerated lifecycle testing, validating durability and long-term reliability under demanding conditions; regulatory and compliance testing, ensuring products meet industry standards; custom test rigs, developed to replicate proprietary assemblies and real-world operating environments, thermal, mechanical, chemical, optical and tribological characterization and comparative tests for advanced material systems.
In addition, Dover Precision Components’ capabilities extend to emerging applications such as the hydrogen economy, where advanced tribology testing helps engineers address wear challenges in high-pressure hydrogen environments.
