Hyperbaric Pressure Testing Facility

Customisable pressure test sequences

The PLC can store up to 100 test sequences and the ability to recall them easily. It also allows editing by the customer.

Multiple test lines and pressure indicators

Each of the eight test lines are independently controlled and dynamically displayed on the HMI touch screen. The operator can easily and accurately monitor the testing. To fulfil the requirement of making the pressure testing facility visually impressive for public viewing, each test line also displays output on an ultra-large analogue pressure gauges and ultra-large Digital Pressure Indicators.

Logging of pressure and temperature

Full data-logging is integrated within each of the test pieces to log pressure and temperature. Live data is displayed on large screens above the main control console and can be displayed and logged in both the manual and automatic modes.

Mechanical Design

There was a lot of design effort required on the mechanical aspect of the structure. Along with the requirement to have a “wow” effect for clients coming onto their site, the test rig design needed to be modular. This allowed for the sections to packed together for shipment with the smallest possible volume (and subsequent cost to the customer) and provide the simplest possible rebuild on site. Working to very tight tolerances on the overall assembled dimensions to ensure the completed testing unit fitted exactly into the purpose constructed test control room.

Installation and commissioning the Multi-station Hyperbaric Pressure Testing Facility

Following witnessed FAT at our facility Hydratron provided a full installation and commissioning service on site and will continue to support the system integrity throughout its life.
