Proof & Burst Test System

Engineered for Extreme Destructive & Integrity Testing up to 4500 Bar

The Hawkstein UHP Proof & Burst Test System is a precision-engineered hydraulic testing platform developed to assess the pressure integrity, structural strength, and failure thresholds of critical hardware. This system is indispensable in Research and Development (R&D), production quality control, type testing, and certification processes. It ensures that tested components conform to stringent international safety codes and industry standards such as ISO, ASTM, ASME, SAE, and API.

Key Functions

  • Proof Testing: Performed to validate that a component can safely endure pressures above its rated operating level—typically 1.5 to 2 times the maximum working pressure—without leakage, permanent deformation, or failure. This verifies product reliability and durability under expected service conditions.
  • Burst Testing: A destructive process carried out to determine the maximum pressure a component can withstand before rupturing. At the 4500 bar scale, this helps establish absolute safety margins, design robustness, and precise failure characteristics for ultra-high-pressure hardware.

Why Hawkstein UHP Technology?

  • Uncompromised Material Quality: With a Stainless Steel testing cabinet and all-SS wetted parts, the system prevents internal scaling and is compatible with high-purity fluids like Skydrol and distilled water.
  • Massive Testing Envelope: The 4500mm length allows for the testing of long-form actuators, naval hoses, and subsea umbilical lines that standard rigs cannot accommodate.
  • Blast-Rated Containment: The reinforced enclosure acts as a high-strength shield, protecting operators from high-velocity fragments or high-pressure fluid jets during a burst event.
  • Certified Compliance: The integrated PLC allows for automated ramping and peak-pressure capture, generating the data required for ISO 9001 and ASME certification audits

FAQs

Yes. The tank is 100% Stainless Steel to prevent rust and includes a dedicated drain port to ensure no cross-contamination between oil and water-based media.

The PLC monitors the pressure curve in real-time. Upon a sudden pressure drop (the rupture), the system instantly logs the Peak Pressure and halts the intensifiers for safety.

This pneumatic-to-hydraulic intensification keeps the high-pressure zone inherently safer by removing high-voltage electrical motors from the compression area.

Strategic Applications

  • Aerospace: Testing of landing gear, flight control actuators, and missile fuel systems using Skydrol.
  • Subsea & Offshore: Integrity verification of ROV umbilical lines and deep-sea valve manifolds.
  • Nuclear & Power: Testing high-pressure boiler tubes and critical pressure boundary valves.
  • Automotive: Proof testing of high-pressure common rail fuel systems and storage vessels.
