Tecna

What Tecna does

Tecna S.r.l. is an Italian designer and manufacturer of leak and flow testing equipment for industrial quality control, founded in the early 1980s in Mirandola's medical district. Its product portfolio centers on the Provaset T2 compact benchtop tester and the T3 series (T3D differential pressure, T3P absolute pressure decay, T3PF flow-leak, T3PQ direct flow measurement), the modular TM3 series (TM3P, TM3PD, TM3PF, TM3PQ, TM3F) for integration into automated production lines, and the DOSASET solvent dispenser for medical plastic component bonding using a patented rotation-and-vibration system. Supporting products include the LTC calibrator/leak simulator, jServer and Supervisor software for statistical process analysis (CP, CPK calculations), a LabVIEW driver (SWLAB), and accessories such as HMI panels, barcode readers, label printers, and containment plates.

The company sells to industrial manufacturers across seven verticals — biomedical/pharmaceutical (primary), automotive, aerospace, hydraulic and gas, electric and battery, white appliances, and mechanics — with hardware sales, calibration services, and turnkey custom solutions as its revenue streams. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. Since 2016 Tecna has operated as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Marposs S.p.A., distributing through Marposs's direct sales and support facilities in 34 countries with 3,700+ employees. The company is ISO 9001 certified, holds an accredited calibration laboratory, and maintains a multilingual website in eight languages. Recent activity (2020-2021) has emphasized biomedical vertical deepening through trade show participation (BIOMEDIGITAL, COMPAMED, BI-MU) and the launch of the T2-EP obstruction testing option for heparin medical lines.

Core offering

Tecna designs, manufactures, and sells leak and flow testing equipment for quality assurance in industrial production cycles. The portfolio includes compact benchtop testers (Provaset T2, T3 series), modular test modules (TM3 series) for automated production lines, patented Dosaset solvent dispensers for medical component assembly, calibrators and leak simulators (LTC), and supporting data collection software (jServer, Supervisor). Equipment supports pressure decay, differential pressure, mass flow, and direct flow measurement methods.

Product overview

Tecna offers a comprehensive portfolio of leak and flow testing solutions for quality assurance in industrial production. The product lineup centers on the Provaset instrument family (T2 compact benchtop tester and T3 series instruments) supporting multiple testing methods: absolute pressure decay, differential pressure decay, mass flow measurement, and direct leak rate measurement. The TM3 modular series (TM3P, TM3PD, TM3PF, TM3PQ, TM3F) extends these capabilities into automated production systems with PLC connectivity. Supporting products include the LTC calibrator/leak simulator for periodic equipment verification, DOSASET solvent dispenser for medical component assembly using a patented rotation/vibration system, and the AST pipe blowing accessory for small diameter tubes. Software offerings include jServer for network data collection, Supervisor for statistical process analysis, and jT3Manager for instrument control. Accessories encompass HMI operator panels, barcode/QR code readers, label printers, containment plates for burst testing, and vacuum generators. All products integrate with industrial standards including Modbus RTU, USB, RS485/RS232, Ethernet, and support connection to PLC systems.
