SIGMA Hydrostatic Pressure Test

SIGMA Hydrostatic Pressure Test

For hydrostatic pressure test of plastic pipes and fittings in PE, PEX, PVC, PP, PB etc., glass fibre pipes, tubes and hoses. SIGMA pipe pressure test is the new generation of pressure testing helping our customers prepare for IoT and Industry 4.0. The system consists of modular airless pressure modules designed to fit into an elegant standard cabinet with a compact footprint. The modularity enables easy configuration and extension of existing pressure cabinets, making SIGMA the most future proof and cost efficient solution in the market. System complies with the standards ISO 1167, EN 12 293 ASTM, D1598  and ASTM D 1599 and equivalent.

Product Highlights

SCITEQ SIGMA pressure solution determines the resistance (both long term and short term) to internal pressure on thermoplastic pipes, fittings and assemblies for conveyance of fluids,
complying with following test standards and equivalent:

  • ISO 1167 and ASTM D1598 long term hydrostatic test. Max. flow rate per station is 2 l/min.
  • ISO 1167 and ASTM D1599 short term testing ”Standard Test Method for Time-to-Failure of Plastic Pipe Under Constant Internal Pressure”. Max. allowed pressuring time is 70 seconds Max. flow rate in a burst station is 15 l/min.

Customisable Modules
