The about page states that the founder, Marvin Boatman, "still owns and operates his business today with the help of experienced quality employees." The company began by catering to offshore companies and expanded to serve the petrochemical industry and contractors. The about page describes the company as having been in the water blasting equipment rental and water blasting equipment sales business serving the Gulf Coast area "for over 35 years," while the home page says "over 38 years of success in high pressure technology" and the rentals page says the business has been built around high pressure water blasting and hydrostatic testing equipment "for over four decades." The site's own figures differ; the founding year of 1978 is the firm fact. On capability, the about page says ongoing research and development lets the company keep improving equipment and methods, references "patented equipment availability," and lists integrity, honesty, safety and expertise as core values. The site describes Boatman Industries as a developer and innovator in high pressure water technology and water pumping systems, and the footer carries the line "Manufactured in the USA." the website lists no ISO, API or ASME certification for the company, no accreditation, no licence or registration numbers, no patent numbers for the patented equipment it mentions, no safety program or incident statistics, no employee count, no customer testimonials or reviews, and no insurance details. Any question about certification, licensing, insurance or warranty should go to the office on (713) 641-6006 rather than being answered from the website. The company maintains Facebook, LinkedIn and YouTube pages linked from its site.

Areas beyond these are not published. ## Prices Boatman Industries does not publish prices, rental rates, cost figures or fees anywhere on its website. Every price is quoted by the company for the specific job, so a customer asking about cost is given a quote rather than a rate card. The rentals page says only that the fleet "has earned a reputation for reliable service at a competitive price" and the fleet page says "reliable service at an affordable price" - neither states any figure. There are two ways to get an estimate. The first is the Request A Quote form, reachable from every page. Its fields are name, company, email, phone, unit number, industry and comments, with comments required. The unit number field lets a customer reference a specific pump listed in the online inventory. The second is to call the office on (713) 641-6006 during business hours, Monday to Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. The contact page says that for quotes or general questions a customer can fill out the form or call, and a representative will be in touch shortly. There is also an Ask A Question form on several pages, with name, email, phone and comments, and a file attachment option on some pages. Useful detail to include when requesting pricing: the job type (industrial cleaning, hydroblasting, pipeline hydrostatic testing, well service), the required PSI and flow, and the rental timeline. The rentals page says the sales team works with operations managers and procurement leads to identify the correct equipment configuration before anything leaves the Houston yard. No deposit, minimum rental period, payment terms or contract terms are published on the website.

The office phone is (713) 641-6006 and the fax is (713) 644-9345. The contact page carries a Get Directions link and a contact form with fields for name, email, phone, industry and comments. the site states that Boatman Industries' equipment is "always available to view in person Monday-Friday 8:00am-5:00pm." That is the only schedule published. The site does not list Saturday or Sunday hours, does not publish a separate yard or after-hours number, and does not publish an email address. the company is described as serving the Gulf Coast area, and the about page title names Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama and Florida. The rentals page says Boatman Industries "is based in Houston and primarily serves Gulf Coast industrial and oilfield markets in Texas, Louisiana, and surrounding states," and asks anyone with a project outside that primary service area to contact the office directly to discuss availability and logistics. Its Houston location is described as close to the Gulf Coast petrochemical corridor. To book a visit, schedule an appointment to inspect a unit, or ask about a rental timeline, call the office during business hours or use the contact form. Equipment can be viewed in person at the Houston address within those weekday hours. Delivery, transport and mobilization arrangements are not described on the website and should be confirmed with the office.

Core performance range - Common configuration: 30 GPM at 15,000 PSI on a single skid or trailer package. - Available builds: from approximately 2 GPM up to 150 GPM, with pressure ceilings up to 50,000 PSI. - The 15,000 PSI rating is sized for typical oilfield and industrial test programs, including proof tests on equipment rated to 10,000 PSI and integrity checks on many 15K-rated assemblies. This 30 GPM / 15,000 PSI platform is designed so one package can handle both the high-volume fill and the slower, controlled pressure hold that most hydrostatic test programs require. Applications Custom hydrostatic testers from Boatman Industries are used for: - Casing and production tubing integrity testing - Wellhead and Christmas tree proof testing - Blowout preventer (BOP) and frac stack certification - Lubricator, control valve and pressure control equipment testing - Pipeline section and pressure vessel testing - Other high-pressure test work in drilling, completions, pipeline construction, petrochemical and similar industries Configurations Each unit is configured around the customer's test program rather than a fixed catalog. Typical options include: - Trailer-mounted packages for field work between well sites and yards - Compact skidded units for shops and tight footprints - Engine and transmission selection matched to duty cycle and mobility needs - Onboard boost pumps, plumbed water tanks and integrated pressure control Boatman also supplies the associated high-pressure accessories to build a complete test spread, including hoses, pressure control valves, check valves, needle valves and pipe nipples rated to match the unit. Boatman's test valve can test from 0 to 50 gallons per minute, allowing higher-flow units to perform small jobs such as hose testing. Purchase, rental and rent-to-own Custom hydrostatic testers are available for purchase and, depending on the configuration, may also be available through rental or rent-to-own arrangements. The website notes a rent-to-own option that applies a portion of rental spend toward a unit that is ultimately purchased. Requesting a quote To request a custom hydrostatic tester quote: - Call the Houston office at (713) 641-6006, or - Use the Request A Quote form on the website. Useful information to provide includes: - The type of components you test (for example, pipeline sections, frac stacks, BOPs, valves or pressure vessels) - Required fill rate (GPM) and test pressure (PSI) - Whether the unit will be shop-based or field portable The website FAQ notes that required hydrostatic test pressure typically depends on component rating and governing codes. Many programs follow guidance that proof testing is often performed above normal working pressure, but exact requirements must be confirmed against the applicable standard and the customer's own procedures. The site does not publish prices or specific build lead times; these are provided case by case by the Boatman Industries sales team.

The sales page says refurbished pumps and equipment listed on the site "have been thoroughly inspected and tested to ensure customer satisfaction," and that its commercial water blasters are used for hydroblasting, hydrostatic testing, well service and injection work. The hydro blasting machines offered for sale are grouped as 10 KPSI, 20 KPSI and 40 KPSI pumps. The page adds that if a customer does not find what they need in the listed inventory it is still worth calling the office, because many of the pumps can be reconfigured to meet the customer's specifications. Four sales categories are published. High Pressure Water Blasters covers pumps for industrial cleaning applications. Hydrostatic Testers includes trailer mounted 15,000 PSI testers, compact skidded testers and high volume pipeline test pumps. Oilfield Pumps includes units for offset well pumping, general well pumping, well service pumps, salt water disposal pumps and mud pumps, plus two SPM brand oilfield pump trucks. Environmental Equipment and Misc. includes an 80,000 lbs horizontal boring machine, a refurbished shellside cleaning machine and a sewer jetter truck. What is actually on hand changes, so the office should confirm any specific machine. The website publishes no sale prices, no cost figures and no fees; buyers request a price or estimate through the Request A Quote form or by calling (713) 641-6006. No warranty terms are published for sold equipment.

The rentals page says pipeline operators and oilfield service companies use its hydrostatic testers for rent, and that its high flow triplex pumps are well regarded for pipeline hydrostatic testing where sustained volume and accurate pressure control matter. Rental testers are described as trailer-mounted units rated from 5,000 PSI up to 15,000 PSI, with onboard boost pump packages and plumbed tank systems for self-contained test setups. The site invites customers to contact the team if a unit needs to be outfitted for a specific test pressure or flow rate, and says the company will confirm what is available and what fits the testing protocol. On the sales side, hydrostatic testers listed include trailer mounted 15,000 PSI testers, compact skidded hydrostatic testers, and high volume pipeline test pumps. Named tester models on the site's menu are the Wheatley 165, the Wolverine 2.0 and the Gardner Denver T300M, along with custom hydrostatic testers. Testing accessories include pressure control valves for hydrostatic testing up to 20,000 psi, stroke counters and chart recorders. An FAQ on the site addresses required test pressure, saying it depends on the pipe's material, wall thickness and applicable code, "typically 1.25 to 1.5 times the maximum allowable operating pressure (MAOP) under DOT or ASME standards," and that the team can help identify a unit that meets a specified test pressure. This is general guidance about test codes; it is not a statement that Boatman Industries itself holds any certification. For pricing, rates or a quote on hydrostatic testing equipment, contact the office at (713) 641-6006.

The rentals page says the fleet covers "the full pressure spectrum, from low-pressure centrifugal fill pumps to ultra-high-pressure units rated to 50,000 PSI." Units are described as trailer-mounted and built around CAT, Cummins, Detroit, Deutz and John Deere engines, paired with Eaton Fuller transmissions or single speed PTO. The site says many units are dual-purpose, serving as commercial hydroblasting units and as industrial hydrostatic testers, so a contractor with overlapping job scopes may not need to rent two separate machines. The rental fleet listing on the site gives per-unit pump model, GPM at PSI, engine model and trailer or skid configuration. Which specific units are free on any given date is not published and must be confirmed with the office. Rental accessories are listed separately and include high pressure hoses in ratings from 3,000 psi up to 50,000 psi, dump guns, zero thrust guns, a pneumatic Gyro Jet gun, foot control valves, deckblasters, tube lancing machines, rotating 3D heads, splitters, spin jets, bleed valves, a double diaphragm pump, an abrasive cutting system, pressure control valves, stroke counters and chart recorders. The accessories page says that if an item is not listed, customers should call and the company will help source it. To get a rental price, cost estimate or quote, use the Request A Quote form or call (713) 641-6006. No rental rates or fees are published on the website.
