Leaktightnes Under External Pressure ISO 3459

This unit is used for performing leak tests on mechanical joints between fittings and pressure pipes under hydrostatic internal pressure while subjected to bending.

The tester is used to determine the Vicat softening temperature and the heat deflection temperature under load for plastics and thermoplastics.

The falling weight tester is used to determine the external impact resistance of thermoplastic pipes using the staircase or roundtheclock method according to EN744.

The RCP tester conveniently and accurately determines the critical pressure and critical temperature for rapid crack propagation in PE pressure pipes.
