Hydrostatic pressure test unit for long-term pressure and burst tests of PVC, PE and PP pipes, per ISO 1167 and ASTM D1598/D1599.
Overview
This unit is designed per ISO 1167, GB/T 6111 ("Thermoplastics pipes for the conveyance of fluids - Determination of resistance to internal pressure") and ASTM D1598/D1599 for long-term sustained-pressure and burst tests of PVC, PE and PP-R pipes under constant hydrostatic pressure. It consists of a vertical stainless-steel pressure vessel (sample chamber), a high-pressure plunger pump, pressure transducers, a thermostatic water tank and a PC control system. The specimen is mounted vertically inside the vessel; pressure is automatically ramped, held and timed according to the set point, with closed-loop pressure control and independent circuits. It features power-off data protection, RS232 communication and continuous operation up to 9999 hours.
Applications
• Road and highway engineering laboratory testing
• Construction material quality control and acceptance
• Research and teaching laboratories
• Third-party inspection and certification bodies
Features
• USB / RS232 data export to PC for further analysis
• Electro-hydraulic loading system with stable test force application
• Robust construction suitable for both laboratory and field use
• Compliant with relevant Chinese and international testing standards
• Complete with calibration certificate and operation manual

FAQ
Q1: What standards does the Hydrostatic Pressure Tester for Plastic Pipes comply with?
A1: The Hydrostatic Pressure Tester for Plastic Pipes is designed and manufactured in accordance with relevant Chinese national (GB) and transport industry (JTG) standards, as well as applicable ASTM and AASHTO international standards. A calibration certificate traceable to national standards is provided with each unit.
Q2: How often should the Hydrostatic Pressure Tester for Plastic Pipes be calibrated?
A2: We recommend annual calibration by authorized technicians or by iRoad after-sales service center. For high-frequency laboratory use, semi-annual calibration is advised. The instrument is supplied with a factory calibration certificate.
Q3: What is the lead time and do you provide training?
A3: Standard units are usually shipped within 7-15 working days. Custom configurations may require 20-30 days. iRoad provides on-site installation, commissioning and operator training for major equipment; remote video guidance is available for standard laboratory instruments.
