Traditionally the hydrostatic pressure testing of pipework, heat exchanger tubes, etc., has involved the use of welded on blanking plates or flange closure plates and gaskets. This can be an expensive and time consuming process and is potentially dangerous when high test pressures are involved. The solution to this problem is provided by the Chalwyn Hydroplug. The Chalwyn Hydroplug enables an easy way to make a pressure tight connection to an unmodified plain or flanged pipe or tube end. The Hydroplug incorporates ports to both introduce and pressurise the test fluid and allow air to be vented from the system.
System features:
• Efficient, cost effective and safe method of pressure testing pipework and tubes up to 550 bar (8000 psi).
• Equipment to be tested does not need to be modified or fitted with special flanges or blanking plates.
• Covers a range of entry diameters from 6mm to 208mm.
• Special support collars available for thin wall tube.
• Easy to introduce test fluid.
• Facility for air venting.
• No special tools required.
• Operators easily trained.
• Immediate availability of Hydroplug for re-use.
• Full spares back up from Chalwyn.
