Benz Materials Testing Instruments has developed a new testing instrument to measure hydrostatic burst strength
The new instrument, the Benz Pipe Burst Tester, measures hose and pipe burst strength to 3000psi (206bar), said Ted Benz, president.
It has proven itself in applications from 1/4inch to 12inch ID, he said.
Benz Materials Testing Instruments designs and manufactures tensile testers, impact testers, melt flow indexes and numerous other materials testing instruments.
"Benz Pipe Burst Testers, frankly, outperform existing hydrostatic burst testing equipment because of ease of setup, load-and-go programming and remarkable reliability," he said.
"Testing throughput is fast and pressure ramp-up accurate.
"With the Pipe Burst Tester's state-of-the-art digital controls, we can offer a system - PBT, personal computer, software and monitor - that displays realtime burst pressure on a pressure time curve," he added.
"Data is stored for comparison, analysis and quality assurance.
"There is nothing like this on the market."
