ACCELERATES REALITY
Development of fatigue cycles that reproduce the cycles that your guns withstand in theaters of operation
Fatigue cracking in high-pressure equipment is certainly the main factor holding back the development of these technologies in the industrial world. Thanks to the development of appropriate technologies over the last 25 years, THIOT INGENIERIE has been able to market
a fatigue testing machine (capable of 6,000 bar) which does not wear out at the same time as the pressure device being tested.
UNIQUE PERFORMANCE*
-
- Maximum test pressure: adjustable from 500 to 5,700 bar
- Specimen pressurization time: Approximately 0.1 seconds
- Unloading time: a few seconds
- Cycling frequency: adjustable around 1 cycle per minute
*These values are highly dependent on specimen volume.
We must confirm them after a preliminary feasibility analysis
WHAT IS THE PURPOSE OF
THE PRESSURE FATIGUE TEST?
MINIMAL MAINTENANCE
The machine itself is designed to withstand fatigue under pressure.
However, certain parts may be replaced after a certain number of cycles as part of preventive maintenance, to ensure optimal machine performance*:
2000
cycles
– Balancing
valve seals
30,000
cycles
– Pipe connectors
– Pressure sensors
200,000
cycles
– Hoses
– Balancing
valve needle
1,000,000
cycles
– Pump casing
seal
*These service life values are given for a working pressure of 5,700 bar
