Downhole Testing

We incorporate several key features in our testing units. First, a combination triplex/ram mechanism allows us to initiate pressure with a small pump, and finish with a hydraulic ram using very little stroke. The result is an extremely fast system with minimal wear and tear. Speed and reliability make this design the leader in hydrostatic testing. Next, a custom winch assembly combines downhole speed with the torque necessary to raise the tool to the next stand. Finally, a unique tandem hydraulic pump delivers the required power to each component simultaneously, making this hydrostatic testing unit the most efficient in the industry.

Ergonomics are very important to equipment operators in any field. This design truly puts the operator in the driver’s seat. Controls and gauges are installed inside the cab for comfort and convenience. The front mounted winch and specially designed sunroof allow the operator a perfect view of the wellhead, as well as up in the rig.

Rack Testing

Mathews Machine uses a system of quick connect handles and “man-saver” valves to test pipe quickly and reduce costly downtime. Another noteworthy feature is our specially designed Matpump. This gear pump allows the operator to fill the pipe with water, test to the desired pressure, and then pull the water out of the pipe for use on the next test. We believe that this is the best method for rack testing available.

As important as the equipment is to our business, it is the people of Mathews Machine and Hydraulic that set us apart. We look forward to working hard for you.

Combination Unit

To meet the needs of our customers we manufacture a combination unit that will test tubing on the rack or tubing in the hole.  This unit has controls inside the cab (for downhole testing) and controls on the tailgate (for rack testing).

Skid Unit

For the companies that do not have the need of Mobile units we offer a skid and a trailer mounted unit. These diesel or electric motor units are built to customer needs and still test in the hole or on the rack.
