Welcome

Model 1400 & 1400 API Multi-Purpose Valve Testing Systems

The Model 1400 and 1400 API test systems are designed to clamp and test flanged valves hydrostatically and pneumatically. When a valve is placed on the seal plate the hydraulic clamp table rises and clamps the valve flange.The clamping forceis applied to the back side of the test valve flange. A pre-calculated hydraulic force is applied to offset the required test pressure forces.

The Model 1400 and 1400 API are designed to be both nonrotating and 90 degree rotating machines mounted on a ridged frame. When used with our patented Model 1500 Hydraulic Flange Seals full body testing an be performed without applying hydraulic clamp forces to the valve body. The opposite flange can easily be sealed with our patented Model 1500 Hydraulic Flange Seals.

The Model No. 1400-12 and Model 1400-16 standard flanged valve testing systems are designed to conform to the clamping requirements as specified in API-598. The Model No. 1400-API standard non rotating flanged valve testing system is designed to conform to the clamping requirements as specified in API-598, API-6D and API-6A. Both systems allow the operator to perform air and/or water testing on the same clamping fixture. Both are complete with clamp fixture and control console and consists of the following features.
