Brief Introduction The valve hydraulic test bench of VTB-H series is widely used in the intensity and leakage tests of all kinds of high, medium and low pressure valves with nominal diameter 1/2� – 40� (DN15-1000). It is particularly designed to perform test Flange/NPT/BW/ SW end connection valves on one machine. (For testing sockets and threaded valves, the fixture tools shall be prepared by the user, we will dispatch one set seal plates/Adapters for BW/Thread end, one set for Flange ends valves)

ii.

Structure and Working Principle The test bench integrates hydraulic system, electro-mechanical system, pressure testing, and hydraulic medium storage and recycle system. It has the characteristics of reasonable structure, completed function, easy operation and so on. The machine brings hydraulic system, machinery, electric control system and hydraulic water supplying pump together, and adopts the way of hydraulic oil cylinder impaction to test the valves. The hydraulic system is the main driving source of the oil cylinder and water supplying pump. The work pressure of the hydraulic cylinder impaction is adjusted according to the different testing pressure grade. The credible clamping capability meets the requirement for testing various size and pressure valves. The hydraulic water -2-


supplying device is composed by high and low water pressure pump whose pressure range is designed as per clients’ request. The pressure test is performed according to the following operation method under the controls of the electrics and electric-contact pressure gauge. There is a recirculation water tank for user at the bottom of the test bench.

Installation Considerations and Requirements 1) Installation: After choosing the suitable location of the test bench, make sure the test bench is in the horizontal line; use the concrete to fasten the root bolt and let the air source connected to the inlet air connection. 2) Oil inpouring: Selection of N32 # -N46 # anti-wear hydraulic oil into the Hydraulic Oil Tank(17). The oil volume can’t be lower than the lowest limit of the oil gauge. 3) Testing medium: Water and kerosene are both ok. Make sure it is clean and won’t rust the tested valve and meets the requirement of the test. When you use water as the test medium, add a rust inhibitor (sodium nitrite, non-toxic powder) in the circular water to prevent the water to rust the water pipeline and the tested valve. Make sure it is clean and won’t rust the tested valve and meets the requirement of the test. Test medium amount not less than the liquid lowest level. 4) Connect to the electric power: Plug in, turn on the machine. Push button Oil Pump Start, check whether the moving direction of motor is right(should be clockwise), after 5-10minutes empty loading running, adjust the pressure of oil -5-


pump to 5.0Mpa(50Bar), (by Adjusting pressure valve Y-25B)check whether every pipeline has leakage or not, if there is any abnormality please stop the machine and eliminate it. Please touch the buttons of cylinder pressurized and released so that the oil pump pressure gauges can show pressure values. 5) Pressure adjustment: When testing the valves, firstly according to the tested valve size and pressure check the table list of “Clamping Cylinder Pressure Contrast table� , increase the pressure to the required pressure, when the required pressure is below 5.0Mpa(50Bar), no need to pressurizing. Oil pump pressure adjusting range is 0-6.3Mpa (0-63Bar), Pressurized cylinder pressurizing range is 5.0-31.5Mpa (50-315Bar) pressurized cylinder pressure is in direct ratio to the oil pump pressure. When you find the left and right clamping pressure gauge is not holding the pressure, please stop working and eliminate the failure. Beyond specification range and beyond pressure range to test valve is forbidden. 6) High and low pressure water pump: Pour the water in the high and low pressure water pump before you use it, and then open the pump till the water comes out normally, if there is some noisy from the high pressure pump, it is normal ( The high pressure water pump pressure is in direct ratio to the oil pump -6-


pressure). When the pump is pouring water to the tested valves, the operator CAN NOT leaves the test bench, in case the function of automatically stop of the electrical contact pressure gauge failed. If it happens, press the button of “high pressure water pump stop� to stop water inpouring, to avoid any accident. 7) Pressure Gauge The pressure gauges in the test bench should calibrated by the official measurement department, and make sure in their valid time, The range of the pressure gauge should not less the 1.5 times of the testing pressure, the accuracy degree should not less 1.5 degree. 8) Testing Cast Iron Valves When testing cast iron valves, don’t use hammer to hit , the operator should be careful and operate the test bench correctly, pay special attention to the testing medium over-pressure cause the damage of the valves. Release all pressure inside of the valve body. 9) The selection and check of the hydraulic oil The hydraulic oil should be checked, replaced regularly. Clean the oil tank, replace the oil after 3 months of first time using the test bench, and after that you should clean and replace it at least once a year ( Depends on the detailed condition), the oil should not below -7-


the oil limitation indicator , the temperature of the oil tank should not above 55 Degree C. 10) Daily maintenance The test bench working plate should keep clean, there shall be no dirty between the tested valve ends/flanges and seal plates. The moving parts should be lubricated frequently and keep clean. Check the O ring timely and replace it if necessary. 11) Interlock function: Pressure gauge green needle must be adjusted to be more than zero when the water pressure black needle drops across the green needle loosen the button and then can release. 12) Timing Relay: Set the pressure hold time, when the pressure reaches the test pressure, pressing the start button to start timing; when reach the setting time, the alarm beep reminder. 13) Attention: When testing pressure over 50 bar, the low pressure pump water inlet valve must be closed. When the testing pressure over the pressure gauge max range, must close the related pressure gauge switch or replaced with bigger range pressure gauge.

Supply Water System

A. No water is sucked: if the pressure of hydraulic system is normal, examine the circulation water level, check whether the water suction joints are loose or air enters. B. Valve core of hydraulic component trapped: the installation position of components refers to assembly installation diagram. Disassemble the reversing valve of the hydraulic water pump and install them back after cleaning. If they were damaged badly, should replace them. C. No water comes out from the high pressure water pump: disassemble the water inlet one-way valve and water outlet check valve, cleaning them in the diesel oil. If they were damaged badly, - 21 -


should replace them. D. Water outlet quantity is normal, but pressure gauge descends and cannot keep the pressure: disassemble the water outlet one-way valve, clean the spring, stem, core of the oil outlet valve, grind and repair. Replace if damaged badly. E. Water tank sealing ring used in the dirt medium will shorten the service life and cause the water outlet pressure unable to increase. It should be replaced and add appropriate antirust on time. If there are any questions, please feel free to contact us
