The paper deals with the issues of testing of centrifugal compressor casings for strength and density. Based on the literature review of theoretical analyses of previously developed test benches at the compressor engineering and manufacturing company “Kazankompressormash” and their shortcomings identified, a modernization of the density test bench was carried out. For more efficient testing on the new modernized test bench, a notional layout of the site was designed. Presented a brief description of the new test bench and justified its operational safety and productivity. Provided are conclusions on the application of the conditional site layout and on test methodology.
