Understanding Pressure cycle Testing
Periodic pressure testing is an essential process in the industrial sector for assessing the resilience and longevity of systems or components in the face of repeated pressure fluctuations. By reproducing the actual constraints endured by equipment, this process helps prevent potential failures. By exposing systems to regular pressure fluctuations, it is possible to test their ruggedness, prevent early failure and ensure optimum safety for users.
LF Technologies’s Specialty: Reliability and Expertise
As a specialist in hydraulic and mechanical test benches, LF Technologies offers specialized test stands for repetitive pressure testing. These testing systems, developed with advanced technologies, provide accurate and realistic simulations. They enable companies to test their products to the extreme limits of their capabilities. When choosing LF Technologies, professionals benefit from meticulous control, backed by the expertise and dedication of our team, always focused on achieving excellence and performance in every bench test.
LF technologies has many years’ experience in fluid testing and dynamic control. The special feature of our systems is in the generation of pressure by a highly dynamic motorized syringe (called a plunger piston). This technology enables us to generate extremely rapid and precise pressure up/down ramps (0.2 seconds). This capability is essential for testing according to cyclic pressure test standards.
Our key test bench for Cyclic Pressure Testing – HYDROSHOCK
This specialized test rig is designed to thoroughly evaluate the waterproofing and pressure resistance of valves, including components such as valve hoses. It enables stringent static pressure tests to be carried out, pushing equipment to its burst point to ensure maximum robustness.
The bench is equipped to perform alternating pressure tests, essential for simulating the effects of water hammer, a frequent occurrence in plumbing systems. These tests reproduce real-life operating conditions, ensuring that every valve tested meets the highest standards of performance and safety.
This complete approach ensures that products not only withstand everyday pressure, but are also prepared for extreme situations, offering reliability and peace of mind to users.
