Custom Fixtures

Custom fixtures to secure valves, pipework, mass flow controllers, sensors, vessels and instrumentation — built to fit your process, tolerance and throughput.

Why choose Forge Pressure Equipment fixtures?

  • Tailored fit: Fixtures designed from your drawings, models or on-site measurements to locate and support each component precisely, reducing alignment errors, vibration and leaks.

  • Material and process flexibility: We deliver fabricated, CNC-machined or additive-manufactured (3D printed) fixtures depending on strength, chemical compatibility, thermal performance and lead time requirements.

  • Repeatable positioning: Locating features, datum faces and clamp points ensure instruments and pipework return to the same position after maintenance or removal, saving commissioning time and improving measurement repeatability.

  • Reduced installation risk: Custom brackets and supports relieve mechanical loads on valves, sensors and MFCs, protecting fittings and electronic connections and reducing downtime from stress fractures or misalignment.

  • Modular and serviceable: Fixtures can be designed as modular subassemblies for easy access, rapid replacement and future expansion without rework of surrounding systems.

  • Compliance and traceability: Manufactured to your specified materials and processes, with documentation and serialisation options to support quality systems and audits.

What we offer

  • Fabricated fixtures: Robust, cost-effective solutions for larger items and assemblies. Ideal for corrosive environments or where welded substructures are required.

  • Machined fixtures: High-precision components from metal or engineered plastics for tight tolerance alignment and rigid support of critical instruments.

  • 3D printed fixtures: Rapid, lightweight, complex geometries and integrated cable routing — perfect for low-to-medium runs, prototypes and confined spaces. Selective materials available for chemical resistance and temperature performance.

Typical applications

  • Laboratory pressure vessels and test rigs

  • Gas distribution manifolds and skids

  • Mass flow controller banks and calibration rigs

  • Sensor arrays and instrument panels

  • Custom pilot plants and R&D setups

Why Forge Pressure Equipment

  • Practical experience with pressure systems and instrumentation ensures fixture designs address not just fit but load paths, safety and maintenance.

  • End-to-end delivery from design iteration and prototyping through manufacture, finishing and installation.

  • Flexible production choices minimise cost and lead time while meeting functional requirements.
