External Testing Adapter for Oversized Valves
For oversized valves that you rarely need to test, it is usually not cost-effective to purchase a large valve test bench. Such a test bench would likely exceed your budget and be unsuitable for the daily testing of smaller sizes.
When dimensioning your new test bench, focus on the 80% of valve sizes you will most frequently need to test. For oversized valves that need to be tested only occasionally, such as once a week, METRUS offers the external testing adapter. This adapter is clamped into the test bench’s clamping unit and provides two high-pressure hoses for connecting the blind-flanged valve positioned next to the test bench.
This allows you to use all the features of your test bench – such as filling, evacuation, and high-pressure testing – even for a valve that does not fit into the clamping unit.
