TEST BENCH FOR TESTING VALVE FLOWS
Test bench for testing valve flows
Functions of test bench for flow tests (according to PN-EN 126 standard):
- Determination of Kvs coefficient.
- Calculation of relative flow to relative opening characteristic Qx/Q100=f(Hx/H100).
- Determination of flow resistance coefficient based on relative opening characteristic ζ=f(Hx/H100).
- Measurement of pressure drop and flow rate for full open valve position.
- Automatic data reporting.
Main applications:
- Regulating valves,
- Shut off valves,
- Throttle valves,
- Y-strainer filters,
- Gate valves.
Advantages include:
- A wide range of possible fittings can be tested with our test bench:
- Easy assembly with flanged valves produced according to PN-EN 1092-1 and PN-
EN 1092-2 (PN), PN-EN 1759-1 (ANSI) and ANSI / ASME B16.5, - Easy assembly with weld-on ends of valves for butt-welding according to DIN3239 (PN) and ASME 36.10 M (ANSI).
- Easy assembly with flanged valves produced according to PN-EN 1092-1 and PN-
- A possibility to test fittings of various lengths.
- A storage for testing and connecting fittings.
- Manual and automatic valves are supported.
- An advanced control system:
- Visualizations of measured data with graphs,
- Guidance messages for the operator during the whole test,
- A possibility to create new test program or edit existing ones,
- A storage of data points on USB drive,
- Generating reports from tests in PDF files on PC connected to the test bench with
help of Ethernet network (proprietary software).
