In electric vehicles, media-carrying components are exposed to extreme conditions. The load capacity of pumps, pressure vessels, hose and pipes made of metal or plastic is proven by dynamic and statistical pressure tests.
The specimens can be easily adapted via quick couplings. Furthermore, a quick-change device is possible to perform the mounting of the specimen by hand outside the test chamber.
For the burst test two test circles with different working methods are available. Up to 50 bar, a very precise increase in pressure is possible due to the wear-free fine-control method. The other test circuit uses a pneumatically-driven pressure intensifier with which a pressure of up to 400 bar can be generated. The test medium normally is mains water or test oil. The test bench can also be equipped with a hand-held scanner to identify the components so as to assign the bursting pressures to each component. The system is controlled via a PLC with serial interface for data exchange. The entry of the test requirements is done via a touch panel.
Performance:
Bursting pressure up to 400 bar
0 – 50 bar fine pressure control
Tests with different media and temperature control
