High-Performance Hydrostatic Pressure Testing Machine with Pressure-Sealing End Caps for Plastic Pipelines
Equipment Purpose:
This instrument is primarily designed to determine the long-term hydrostatic pressure resistance duration and instantaneous burst pressure values of various plastic pipes and composite pipes. By applying progressively increasing water pressure to the pipes, it simulates the pressure conditions that the pipes may encounter in real-world operating environments, thereby evaluating the pressure resistance and burst resistance performance of the pipes.
Core Component Composition:
Key Components & Functions
Pressure Control System
This system enables precise control over pressure values throughout the test, including the setting, dynamic adjustment, and stable maintenance of pressure parameters. It ensures the pressure consistently stays within the range mandated by relevant standards, thereby guaranteeing the accuracy of test results.
Pressure Generation Device
High-pressure pumps serve as the pressure source, capable of converting low-pressure liquid into high-pressure liquid. This device delivers a stable high-pressure water flow output to support the test process.
Constant Temperature Medium Tank
This component is designed to regulate the temperature of the test medium (typically water), ensuring the test is performed under preset temperature conditions. This is critical as temperature exerts a substantial influence on the performance of plastic pipes.
Specimen Fixing Fixtures (End Caps)
These fixtures are used to secure pipe specimens, preventing pipe displacement or leakage during the test. They thereby lay a foundational guarantee for the smooth progression of the test.
Automated Data Processing Unit
This unit is equipped with functions for automatic calculation of test data and printing of test reports, streamlining post-test data handling.
Applicable Pipe Categories:
The machine supports testing for an extensive range of pipe materials, including:
Thermoplastic Pipes:
- Polypropylene variants (PP-R, PP-B, PPA)
- Polyethylene types (PE, PE-X)
- Polyvinyl chloride derivatives (PVC, UPVC, PVC-C)
Composite Pipes:
Typical examples include aluminum-plastic composite pipes, which combine plastic and metal layers to improve structural strength.
Product Characteristics:
User-Friendly Control
Equipped with a touchscreen or PC-based interface, enabling intuitive setting of test parameters (pressure, temperature, time).
Compact Multi-Pressure Design
Features a space-efficient footprint of less than 1 m² and provides up to 50 distinct pressure levels (including water supply pressure).
Smart Specimen Recognition
Automatically detects pipe dimensions and materials (e.g., PP-R, PE), and optimizes test parameters to ensure testing accuracy.
Optimized Pressure Control
Employs intelligent algorithms to generate optimal pressure profiles (e.g., gradual pressure ramps), enabling simulation of real-world operating conditions for realistic testing.
Precise Pressure Adjustment
Supports independent pressure configuration for each test channel (range: 0.1–200 bar) with high precision (±0.5%).
Long-Lasting Components
Minimizes wear on solenoid valves, reducing maintenance needs and supporting 24/7 continuous operation.
Corrosion-Resistant Construction
All water-contacting components are manufactured from high-grade stainless steel, enhancing the machine’s durability and service life.
Multilingual Display
Supports multiple languages (e.g., English, Chinese) to facilitate seamless operation across global markets.
In-Test Calibration
Enables pressure calibration during the testing process without halting operations, ensuring the reliability of test data.
Comprehensive Safety Protection
Integrates multi-layer safety safeguards covering electrical, mechanical, and software domains (e.g., emergency stop function, leak detection system).
Convenient Data Sharing
Utilizes the TCP/IP protocol to transmit test data to computers or cloud platforms in real time, supporting efficient report generation and data management.
