SS Tank for Hydrostatic Pressure testing for pipe sample immersion.
International Equipments is a leading manufacturer, supplier and exporter of SS Tanks for Hydrostatic Pressure Testing in India. Built at our Mumbai facility, our SS Tank is the dedicated insulated water bath in which plastic pipe samples are submerged at a controlled elevated temperature during long-term hydrostatic creep rupture testing - strictly as per IS 4984, IS 4985, ISO 1167 and ASTM D 1598. The tank is the natural matched companion to our Computerised Hydrostatic Pressure Testing Panel, together forming the complete hydrostatic pressure test system used by every BIS-certified HDPE, PVC, CPVC and PPR pipe manufacturer.
Hydrostatic pressure testing of plastic pipes is fundamentally a temperature-AND-pressure test - not just a pressure test. The pipe sample must be held at a precisely-controlled elevated temperature (typically 20°C, 60°C or 80°C) AND at constant internal pressure for hours, days or weeks. The SS Tank is the temperature-controlled bath that delivers that controlled temperature - completely submerging the pipe sample in heated water so the entire pipe wall reaches uniform temperature equilibrium.
An SS Tank for Hydrostatic Pressure Testing is a temperature-controlled stainless-steel water bath specifically engineered for the long-duration submersion of plastic pipe samples during hydrostatic creep rupture testing. The tank's primary function is to maintain the pipe sample at the precise elevated test temperature (typically 20°C, 60°C or 80°C) for the entire duration of the test - from minimum 1-hour cycles up to 10,000-hour long-term hydrostatic strength characterisation cycles.
Different from a generic laboratory water bath, the SS Tank for hydrostatic testing is purpose-built: double-walled insulated construction to minimise heat loss; stainless-steel construction throughout for corrosion resistance; integrated manifolds in the tank walls allowing flexible high-pressure hoses to enter and exit cleanly via quick-release couplings; and capacity sized to accommodate the longer pipe sample lengths specified by IS 4984, IS 4985 and ISO 1167.
Our SS Tank is engineered as a double-walled, fully insulated water bath with comprehensive thermal protection - including insulation across the access doors so that no heat escapes during multi-day test cycles. Standard construction is all-stainless-steel for the wetted interior, with mild-steel powder-coated exterior for long laboratory service life.
The tank wall houses integrated stainless-steel manifolds with quick-release couplings on BOTH the inside and outside faces - essential for safe operation. Flexible high-pressure hoses from the Hydrostatic Pressure Panel connect to the external couplings; corresponding hoses inside the tank connect to the pipe samples being tested. Available capacities range from 200 litres up to 5000 litres.
Standard 415 V / 50 Hz three-phase power supply drives the tank's integrated heating elements and circulation pumps - necessary because of the high heating load needed to bring a large water mass up to test temperature. Powder-coated finish for long laboratory service life.
The SS Tank is one component of the complete three-part hydrostatic pressure test system:
We commonly supply the matched Hydrostatic Pressure Panel + SS Tank + End Caps as a complete package - one quotation, one commissioning visit, one set of calibration certificates.
