Cherne Test-Balls now feature patented Rupture Disc Technology, designed to prevent over-inflation and protect the plug’s internal cording from damage.
Cording damage is often hidden but can significantly reduce plug performance—Rupture Disc Technology helps eliminate this risk.
Built tough and reliable, Cherne Test-Balls deliver durable, effective performance in all types of pipe.
