Valve test rig (research)

Manufacturer: RVS S.r.L

Year: 2020

The test rig consists of a panel mounted on a refurbished old cast-iron base. The panel is connected to the hydraulic power unit located in the basement and allows to impose either a flow rate or a pressure to the component being tested. The typical test that can be performed is determining the flow rate versus pressure drop characteristic through a component (valve, manifold, pipe section, etc.). On the work plane equipped with T shaped bars, it is possible to set up the circuit to test the desired component and insert additional measuring instruments

Technical data:

  • Max flow rate: 160 L/min
  • Max inlet pressure: 300 bar
  • Oil temperature range: 30-50 °C
