Product Description

 

1. Overview

The Pipe Hydro Tester Machine is used to test the pressure resistance and sealing performance of steel pipes, welded pipes, or seamless tubes before delivery. It injects high-pressure water into the pipe to check for leakage or deformation under a set pressure.


2. Working Principle

  1. The pipe is clamped and fixed into position.

  2. Sealing heads tightly close both pipe ends.

  3. A high-pressure pump fills the pipe with water and pressurizes it to a preset value.

  4. The system maintains this pressure (e.g., for 10 seconds) and monitors for pressure drops or leaks.

  5. After testing, the water is discharged, and the pipe is released.

4. Main Components

  1. Main Frame: Supports the clamping and pressurizing systems.

  2. High-Pressure Pump Station: Supplies the required pressurized water.

  3. Clamping Mechanism: Holds the pipe securely during the test.

  4. Sealing Heads: Seal both ends of the pipe to contain pressure.

  5. Hydraulic System: Drives the clamping and sealing mechanisms.

  6. Control Panel: Manual or PLC-based for automated control and data handling.

  7. Pressure Sensors/Gauges: Monitor pressure in real-time.

  8. Drainage System: Discharges test water after testing is complete.


5. Operation Procedure (Example for Automated System)

         Load & Align: Place the pipe into position via crane or loading table.

         Clamp & Seal: Automatically clamp and seal both ends of the pipe.

         Pressurize & Hold: Initiate pressurization up to the target pressure and hold.

         Monitor & Evaluate: Detect pressure drop or leakage. Alarm if failed.

         Drain & Unload: Discharge water, release pipe, and prepare for next cycle.

Pipe Hydro Tester Machine FAQs

What is a pipe hydro tester used for?

It’s used to test steel pipes for internal pressure strength and leaks by filling them with high-pressure water and monitoring their performance under pressure.

What is the typical test pressure?

Test pressures range from 10 MPa to 70 MPa, depending on pipe diameter, thickness, and industry standards.

What medium is used for testing?

Clean water is standard. Some systems may use water mixed with anti-rust agents.

How long does a test take per pipe?

A full test (clamping, pressurizing, holding, draining, and unclamping) usually takes 30 to 90 seconds per pipe, depending on size and automation level.

How is pressure monitored and controlled?

Via pressure sensors and digital displays With PLC control systems, pressure is auto-adjusted and monitored in real time
