WAY IT WORKS

Valve test bench SPTE-1-1

Bench description

The horizontal test bench is combined with a pumping station and integrated
as a one-piece construction – a clamping device for sealing valves
and a pressurizing source.

It has small overall dimensions, which saves space in the test section
and does not require an additional investment in the purchase of a
pneumohydraulic station.

Purpose

■ strength and density tests of body parts materials and welds under
pressure of the test medium

■ gate tightness tests

■ environmental leakage tests on dynamic and static connection seal

■ functional tests


Tested products

■ gate valves

■ ball valves

■ stop valves

■ non-return valves

■ butterfly valves

■ plug valves


Type of connection

■ flanged

■ welded (at the customer’s request)

■ nipple joint

Advantages

■ all components coming into contact with water
are corrosion-resisting or have antirust coating

■ power hydraulic of the clamping device is actuated by the oil
pumping station, which lengthens the test bench lifetime

■ valves testing on gate tightness from both sides does not require
the tested valves adjustment, which significantly cuts the time for
the test preparation

■ the test bench is equipped with a tray for drained water

■ usage of high-pressure hoses with quick-release coupling (QRC)
allows to cut the testing time substantially

■ the test bench may be promptly adjusted to the face-toface
dimension of the valve due to the available electrically or
hydraulically actuated crossbeam

■ the method of the fastening of the tested valves allows to inspect
the leaks

■ by agreement with the customer, it is possible to equip the test
benches with self-sealing stopper plugs ensuring minimal axial
compression of the tested valves
