2023 Brandt Hydrotesting Compression Hydrotester

The Compression Hydrotester tests large diameter pipe by using a collapsing seal, and applying up to 20,000 psi to ensure pipe meets strict regulations. Engineered to accommodate a wide variety of specifications, the Brandt Compression Hydrotester is capable of testing pipe in diameter of 4.5" to 16", and 20' to 60' in length.

Features may include:

• pipe OD ranging from 4.5" to 16". With quick change tooling, the Brandt hydrotester can accommodate the entire range on a single machine.

• can accommodate beveled or deburred plain end square cut, API external upset, or coupled and threaded pipe.

• can operate in various modes - fully automatic; semi-automatic; and manual. All adjustments including test pressure, fill pressure, pipe length and test time can all be controlled at a touch of a button from within the operator's station. Alarm diagnostics and maintenance screens for fast and accurate trouble-shooting.

• can test with stable pressure of 500 psi (3.5 MPa) to 20,000 psi (140 MPa). Using a water-over-oil intensifier and a closed loop control, a quick and stable test pressure is obtained. Frame is designed for a maximum end load of 1.6 million pounds.

• collapsing urethane seals provide clearance for pipe entry resulting in excellent life.

• test data of each pipe is logged and can be made available through the PLC and purchaser's network to other areas of the finish floor, including drifting station, marking system or bundler.
