Model 900

Pneumatic or Hydrostatic Valve Testing System - Model 900

The Model 900 is the premier Safety Relief Valve (SRV) test system in the world today. The unique “J” tube design allows for a free flow of air or water from the source to the SRV being tested so that back pressure or pressure drop is not noticeable during the setting of the SRV. Flow and ramp rates can be easily calculated using this design. This system was designed to comply with API-576 for flow characteristics and API-527 for seat leak detection.

Model 900-6, Safety Relief Valve Test System. This system performs Safety Relief Valve set pressure tests per API-RP-576 Paragraph 6.2. This test system allows the operator to perform air and/or water test on the same clamping system.

Standard Features:

  • Gauge Calibration Port installed as an alternate pressure port.
  • Air operated pump with 10,000 psi hydraulic clamp circuit.
  • One (1) stainless steel, “O” ring seal plate for 2” through 12” flanged Safety Relief Valves.
  • One (1) stainless steel, “O” ring seal plate for 1” and 1 ½” flanged Safety Relief Valves.
  • Six (6) carbon steel, nickel plated, Male NPT, adapters for ½”, ¾”. 1”, 1 ½”, 2” and 3”.
  • Three (3) arm, ninety (90) ton hydraulic clamping force.
  • Clamp arms nickel plated.
  • Skid frame to be carbon steel powder coated.
  • One skid mounted clamp fixture and control console for fork lift movement.
  • Standard air and water test system on one clamping fixture rated for 3,000 or 6,000 psi; other pressures available upon request.
  • One (1) five (5) gallon ASME Phenolic coated test vessel with an ASME Safety Relief Valve. (10 and 15 gallon vessels, Phenolic coated, Nickel plated or Stainless Steel).
  • One (1) five (5) gallon, 3000 psi ASME Phenolic coated test vessel with ASME Safety Relief Valve. (10 and 15 gallon vessels, Phenolic coated, Nickel Plated or Stainless Steel).
  • ¾”, 1 ½” or 2”, “J” tube, stainless steel line from the test vessel to the test table.
  • ¾”, 1 ½” or 2”, stainless steel full port isolation ball valve with air actuator.
  • ¾”, 1 ½” or 2”, stainless steel full port by pass valve from source to the test table.
  • One (1) Precision Digital Test Gauge, gauge stores minimum and maximum values when displayed. Has 0.05% full scale total error band and allows for the effects of linearity, hysteresis, repeatability and temperatures from 0 to 150 degrees F. Intrinsically safe, CSA, FM approved, Class 1, Div. 1, CE approved EN 50082-1. Meets ASME B40-7 safety requirements for digital test gauges.
  • Aluminum or Stainless Steel panel face.
