Hydraulic and Engineering Instruments Company (HEICO) is a leading Indian company in the business of making and selling testing machines, equipment and instruments for quality testing of materials used generally in most industries and civil engineering in particular.

Such equipment is needed for use in labs in factories and manufacturing units and also in testing service labs where industries outsource their needs for material testing services.

Civil engineering and construction industry involve high levels of safety concerns and therefore quality concern is a major factor.

The building materials utilized in the construction industry for structural application are mostly steel, iron, concrete and cement. The building blocks have to bear loads for lifetime and hence, testing machines need to be strong and consistent in their qualities over long period of time.

Because of the heavy loads required to be tested and for simulating real life conditions, testing machines are typically powered by hydraulic power packs. Hydraulic power can be controlled more accurately and hence it is possible to apply different load patterns.

Apart from load testing, there are other factors related to preparation and processing of raw materials. Testing is recommended at different stages of the process so as to avoid weaknesses as early as possible, thus lowering financial losses. Apart from material testing for building materials, civil engineering also involves study of soil and building of ports, roads, dams etc. Each of these is a specialized field.

HEICO’s range of products involves all such related equipment and instruments used in labs for manufacturing as well as service businesses, not limited to civil engineering. HEICO also caters to several other industries like Steel, Plastic, Rubber, Polymers, Hard goods, Automotive, Aeronautics and Railways.

Many educational institutes, research agencies and engineering colleges also use HEICO products. Education and research agencies lay high emphasis on details of technical specifications of the equipment. Their tests and inspections are very stringent. HEICO always tries to meet constantly the stipulations of reputed institutions.

Quality control at HEICO begins with inspection of components and raw materials. Inspections and tests are pre-defined for all stages of the process of manufacturing and topmost care is taken to ensure that chances of failure of final product is minimal. HEICO manufacturing sticks to global standards of material testing including BIS, JIS, DIN, ISO, EN and ASTM.

HEICO manufactures a range of testing equipment to measure strength of materials commonly found in homes and offices. These include fatigue testing, torsion testing, tensile& universal testing, and spring testing equipment. These measure qualities like flammability, friction, elasticity, ductility, drawability and physical strength.
