What is a Hydraulic Testing Machine? What's the Use?
The reliability of hydraulic systems must be verified during the testing phase, as well as their performance in the field. At this point, hydraulic testing machines come into play. In particular, vital tests such as tightness and compressive strength of hoses, cylinders, valves and fittings are carried out with these special equipment.
What Does a Hydraulic Testing Machine Do?
Hydraulic testing machines are used to test the resistance of a hydraulic component to certain pressure conditions. It is generally preferred for the following operations:
Compressive Strength Test: Testing the physical structure of the product by exposing it to the specified maximum pressure.
Leak Test: Checking whether there is any leakage at the connection points of the system.
Functional Test: Verification of components such as valves or cylinders according to their working principles.
Acceptance Tests: Checking theproduct before it goes to the field during the quality control phase after manufacturing.
Where is it used?
Hydraulic testing systems have a wide range of applications in different industrial fields:
Hydraulic hose manufacturing and assembly workshops
Cylinder and valve manufacturers
Heavy machinery services
In the defense and aerospace industry
In the oil, natural gas and maritime sector
How Does the Testing Process Work?
A hydraulic component is carefully connected to the system before it is put to the test. The testing machine usually includes the following components:
High pressure pump
Pressure measuring manometers or digital sensors
Safety valves
Test chamber or protective cabinet
The testing process is started automatically or manually. The product is observed under the specified time and pressure. If any deformation, leakage or performance issues are detected, the product is considered faulty.
Why Is It Important?
Occupational safety: Untested products may pose a risk of explosion or leakage in the field.
Quality assurance: The conformity of the product offered to the customer with the standards is documented.
Legal obligations: In many sectors, test reports in accordance with standards such as CE and ISO are required.
Failure prevention: Problems detected at an early stage prevent costly field failures.
