Hydraulic test benches
High pressure, burst and high temperature test hoses
Technical description
Pressure resistance test bench
Main functions
The purpose of this test bench is to test the pressure resistance of hoses and pipes until they burst. This machine is designed to perform high pressure (1800 bar) and high temperature (200 °C) tests.
The software allows to automatically generate pressure and temperature ramps and to detect the bursting of hoses.
Operating mode
A low pressure lift pump sucks the liquid into a container. This liquid is delivered, via a valve, into a vertical chamber of small volume.
The upper part of the chamber is located inside the thermal enclosure. This chamber is equipped with a removable part receiving adaptor fittings to the lower part of the hose being tested.
The upper part of the tested hose is connected to a pilot valve, mounted on a vertical slide, allowing adaptation to the length of the hose being tested.
A pressure sensor, located on the body of the vertical chamber, enables measurement and transmission of pressure applied to the hose.
