The Fives Bronx Hydrostatic Pipe Testing Machine incorporates several design advantages to ensure improved cycle time, manufacturing uptime and reduce maintenance time. This machine, purchased by a leading North American pipe producer, is capable of processing:
2-3/8” to 7-5/8” O.D., both ends plain or upset end – 20’-0” to 48’-0” long
A maximum length tolerance of plus or minus 3’-0” without resetting the machine
At test pressures from 2,000 to 20,000 psi, and having a maximum end load of 592,661 lbs.
Another key feature of this machine is its High Speed Production Option. This option allows the customer to increase their production through the Hydrostatic Pipe Tester by more than 20%. By increasing the fill and purge cycle time, reducing pressure break time and incorporating a new tooling designed to optimize cycle time, production is increased.
Fives Bronx patented a Computer Aided Setting System (“COMPASS”). This system utilizes the latest in industrial, electrical, and electronic technology to provide the customer with consistent, high quality products and maximum throughput capacity. Using the COMPASS system, machine set up times are less than three minutes. When processing such sensitive and critical components, the “COMPASS”
system ensures all of the necessary data is collected and stored for the producer as well as the end user.
With over 100 years of expertise and cutting-edge innovation, Fives Bronx continues to be the undisputed world leader in metal production and finishing.
