Product Overview
The Semi Auto Plumbing Hydro-static Pressure Testing Equipment transforms plumbing system validation with its blend of automated pressure control and intuitive data logging capabilities. This system pairs a high-performance hydraulic pump (with a flow rate of 17 L/min) with a 7-inch touchscreen interface, enabling precise simulation of water hammer effects (up to 50 psi pressure spikes) and leak detection in residential, commercial, and industrial pipelines. Unlike manual testers, it eliminates human error by maintaining set pressures within ±1% tolerance, making it a preferred choice for plumbing contractors and building inspectors.

Features
Dynamic Pressure Control: Programmed to mimic real-world water hammer scenarios—including sudden valve closures and pump start-ups—with adjustable spike duration (0.5 to 10 seconds) to identify fatigue-induced weak points in copper, PEX, and CPVC pipes.
Modular Design: Expandable to 10 pressure stations via daisy-chain connections, allowing simultaneous testing of multiple fixtures (faucets, toilets, water heaters) in a single system, reducing project timelines by 30%.
Remote Monitoring: Built-in Wi-Fi 802.11ac connectivity enables access to test data (pressure curves, leak rates) from smartphones or tablets, with one-click generation of PDF compliance reports featuring time-stamped results and inspector signatures.
Error Prevention: Equipped with a triple-sensor system that automatically halts testing if pressure deviations exceed ±1% of the set value, while a built-in leak detector (sensitivity of 0.1 L/hour) alerts operators to micro-fractures before they escalate.
Application
Plumbing Contractors: Verifying the integrity of new installations (residential homes, high-rise buildings) before final inspection, ensuring compliance with IPC and UPC plumbing codes.
HVAC Systems: Testing chilled water lines (copper, steel) and heating circuits (PEX, PB) for leaks and pressure resistance, critical for maintaining energy efficiency in commercial buildings.
Municipal Infrastructure: Validating the durability of water mains (PVC, ductile iron) and sewage pipes (HDPE) during municipal renovation projects, adhering to AWWA standards.
