DOUBLE SECTORIZED COLUMNS AND PROPORTIONAL PRESS CLAMPING
Test rigs for pipes with clamping style Nr. 1 “Proportional press”.
Reaction bridges are connected by sector columns, that allow to set up maximum pipe length.
The fine adjustment on pipes is performed by the pressing cylinder stroke.
The right side reaction bridge is able to run on the entire columns length to cover a wide range of pipe length measures, as described in the technical table below.
Pipe loading is performed by a crane from the top, while Nr. 4 hydraulic “Lunette” lifters will support it for the entire test and they are able to center the alignment on seals heads, and “keep” it to avoid its bending during tests.
The basement includes a water vessel with an evaporation limit device.
The test bench does not need any foundations and is controlled by a SKA class pressurization skid with up to 1000 L/min water filling ability.
