For determining the leak tightness of elastomeric sealing ring type joints for buried thermoplastics non-pressure piping systems. The rigid and robust construction of the SCITEQ leak tightness tester ensures reliable test results of up to Ø1600 mm plastic pipes - even larger pipe dimensions on request.
The testing principle of the leak tightness tester comprises exposing the test pipe to a vacuum (internal negative air pressure) for a specific period, filling the test pipe with water and subsequently exposing the pipe to an internal hydrostatic pressure for a specific period. During testing, the joint will be subjected to deflection. Each stage of the test is monitored in order to establish a possible joint leakage.
