Hose burst, leak & elongation testing to 2500 bar.

Key features and benefits

1. Pressure generation and capability

The system operates at a maximum test pressure of up to 2500 bar (36,250 PSI). Powered by a highly dependable air-actuated Haskel High-Pressure Pump, the machine generates consistent ultra-high pressure, making it ideal for testing the most demanding hydraulic applications. The high-pressure capacity simulates extreme operational environments, ensuring hoses are validated for performance and safety.

2. Comprehensive testing modes

Leak Test — detects any pressure loss or leakage in hydraulic hoses during operation. Provides real-time visualization through a Pressure-vs-Time graph to monitor and identify pressure deviations. Automated detection systems highlight any abnormalities and record precise pressure drops.

Elongation Test — measures the elongation of hydraulic hoses under high-pressure conditions using a high-precision laser measurement system for accurate elongation data, offering insight into material behaviour and durability compliance.

Burst Test — determines the ultimate pressure tolerance of hydraulic hoses before rupture. A sudden pressure drop during the test indicates the burst event, captured through real-time graphical representation, displaying the exact burst-pressure value.

3. Automation and efficiency

Fully automated test cycles eliminate the need for extensive manual intervention, improving efficiency. Automated data acquisition and real-time monitoring ensure accuracy and repeatability, and the system is programmed to handle repetitive testing requirements, saving time and reducing human error.

4. Advanced data logging and reporting

Every test automatically generates a detailed report including comprehensive pressure data, elongation and burst values, and time-stamped logs for traceability. Data reports can be used for quality assurance, regulatory compliance, and R&D analysis.

5. Enhanced safety features

• Pressure Relief Valves — prevent accidental over-pressurization for secure operations.
• Automatic Shut-off Mechanism — reacts to equipment malfunctions or excessive pressure, ensuring operational safety.
• Bulletproof Glass Test Chamber — provides a secure environment for observing the test while safeguarding the operator from potential hazards.
• Emergency Stop Button — immediately halts operations during emergencies, ensuring maximum safety for personnel and equipment.

6. Intuitive control system

Features an integrated digital control panel with a responsive touch-screen interface, providing intuitive navigation for setup and monitoring. Displays real-time test parameters, graphs, and results, offering comprehensive control to operators.

7. Precision calibration

Equipped with specialized calibration tools to maintain long-term accuracy of pressure measurements, ensuring reliable and repeatable results across multiple test cycles.
