The challenge. You need corrosion-resistant, high-precision metal parts for high-pressure, high-temperature or sour (H2S / CO2) service — and standard, off-the-shelf components won’t survive the conditions or hold the tolerances.

Coretest designs and machines custom metal parts and high-pressure components in-house, in the corrosion-resistant alloys these environments demand. From a single replacement component to a prototype or a small production run, every part is built to the real pressure, temperature and chemistry of your application — and inspected before it ships.
