Pressure tests are performed during tightness tubular tests of tubular installations - heating, water, oil, solar systems, boilers and pressure tanks. What pumps are used to perform these tests? We invite you to enter.
What is a pressure test?
The pressure test is aimed at checking the tightness of the installation cables. It should be made right after the installation is installed, in accordance with the recommendations of the pipe manufacturer, and its result saved in the construction log. During the test, the medium under the properly increased pressure is transmitted through the installation - most often approx. 1.5 times higher than working pressure. The installation tightness test is usually carried out by the contractor, but by choosing an external company specializing in carrying out this type of activity, you can be sure that it will be carried out reliably. Performing tightness test protects against unpleasant events, such as leaks or cracks in the installation.
What pumps are used during pressure tests?
Installation pressure tests are made using control pumps. You will find high quality in Dambat's offer IBO pressure tests pumps Hand -controlled - PR50 and electrically - PR Auto. The hand pump offers working pressure 5 MPa, 50 bar, 50 kg/cm². It is also equipped with a 12 L tank. The biggest advantages of hand pumps are small dimensions, ease of use and low price. The electrically controlled pump, although it is more expensive and heavier than manual, provides higher comfort of use. It also has better technical parameters. In this case, we can count on working pressure 6 MPa, 60 bar, 60 kg/cm² and capacity at 174 l/min.
Pumps for pressure tests offered by Dambat perfectly perform their function. They are characterized by High pressing efficiency, which is carried out through long feeds, and the possibility precise pressure settingwhich gives a short feed. Therefore, they are a great choice for installers, construction companies and companies specializing in performing installation tightness tests.
