Resistance of joint couplings to temperature cycles

Test methods

An assembly of pipes and accessories is subjected to temperature cycles by passing hot water under pressure, alternating between hot and cold for a set number of cycles. During this test the parts are kept under traction and/or flexure and inspections are made for possible signs of leaks.

Limitation: We are able to test up to DN63.
