What is a pressure tester?

A pressure testing machine is a device used to verify whether equipment or components can withstand the pressure they are designed for. It is commonly used to test products such as pipes, tanks, valves, and containers that are exposed to high or low-pressure environments to ensure safety. During the test, the product is subjected to a set maximum pressure, and any leakage or damage is checked.

Pressure testing machines can operate in both high-pressure and low-pressure environments, and the results are used to evaluate the quality and performance of the product. The testing methods include static pressure testing (applying pressure for a set period to check stability) and dynamic pressure testing (applying fluctuating pressure to check the product’s response). This helps ensure that the product can withstand pressure changes during use and won’t fail under overload conditions.

The pressure testing machine plays a crucial role in confirming the safety of products, especially in industrial machinery, infrastructure, and any products related to pressurized systems.

Application of pressure tester

１．Industrial Equipment
In the manufacturing of high-pressure tanks, a pressure testing machine is used to verify that the tank can withstand the maximum pressure it will encounter during operation. The tank is subjected to high pressure to check for any leaks or structural failures before it is approved for use in industrial applications, such as in chemical or gas storage.
２．Pipe Systems in Construction
In the construction of plumbing systems, pipes are tested with a pressure testing machine to ensure they can handle the water pressure that will be exerted during their use. The pipes are pressurized to the designed maximum level to check for leaks or weaknesses, ensuring the safety and durability of the system once installed.
３．Aerospace Components
Aerospace components such as fuel tanks, hydraulic lines, and pressure vessels are tested using pressure testing machines. These components are subjected to extreme pressure tests to verify that they will perform safely under the high-pressure conditions they will face during flight. Any failure would compromise the safety of the aircraft, so the tests are crucial before use.
