Pressure testing
Reliable pressure test with powerful high-pressure technology
Various media flow through the containers, leads, tanks or reactors used in industrial processes and put them under pressure. For smooth processes, it is important to test them after production or during maintenance phases. The hydrostatic pressure test subjects the specimens to tightness and strength tests at pressures of up to 3,000 bar.<
URACA supplies the required pressure testing units in many different versions.

The different types of pressure testing
URACA provides the appropriate technical solutions for these three types of pressure testing:
The cyclic pressure test attempts to simulate typical loads during operation. The process increases the pressure over a certain time and then relieves the specimen again. The pressure change takes place cyclically. Cycles of more than 50,000 are not uncommon. The cyclic pressure test can be used to protect a specimen against failure during operation.
Common applications of pressure testing
Pump units from URACA support the different variants of the pressure test. Thanks to pump capacities of up to 3,000 bar and a huge range of pumps, the test pump units from URACA are extremely versatile. Even customer-specific requirements can be met easily. Typical applications are the testing of containers, pipelines or valves for leak tightness and strength in the chemical or pharmaceutical industry. The pressure test should ensure the process and prevent the leakage of media.
Different drives of the test pump units are possible for the different applications. The pumps can be powered by squirrel cage motors or diesel and petrol combustion engines. Manually operated test pumps are also available.
Controlled pressure tests - especially for hydrogen tanks
Hydrostatic pressure testing and burst pressure testing work with pressures of up to 3,000 bar and secure the hydrogen tanks, pipelines, containers and pipes used in operation. Special valves and controls enable reproducible test procedures and cyclical tests. The URACA pressure test units are available in customized and standard versions.
Particularly in the testing of hydrogen tanks, URACA's powerful high-pressure technology offers reliable safety for cyclic pressure testing in accordance with the regulations of the Economic Commission for Europe of the United Nations UN/ECE-R134, EC79/2009, 406/2010/EU. Extensive URACA know-how makes the use of manual valve controls possible and complex automatic controls realizable.
