The offered standard high pressure tubes are made of cold-worked stainless steel but, on request we can also supply tubes made of other materials. Autofrettaged tubing and fittings are also available for pressure cycling applications.

Large variety of standard fittings for medium- and high pressure components are generally on stock, ensuring you a fast problem solving: glands, collars, plugs,  elbows, tees, crosses, union- and bulkhead couplings. On request, we can manufacture and test any component, manifold or system.

If needed, we offer all the necessary, dedicated tube fabricating equipment like: coning and threading tools and tube benders. And of course, we can cut the tubes to requested length, make the cone and thread and even bend it for you. Just ask for it!

Quick couplings

No Tools Needed for Fast Connect and Disconnect

• Pressures from 700 bar (10.000 psi) up to 3.000 bar (43,500 psi)

• High strength steel or stainless steel construction

• Valved or unvalved construction

• Wide range of end connections and seal material

Quick couplings intend to reduces the time to realize a connection and eliminate the need of using tools when connecting equipment, test units in the hydrotesting systems or water jet and water blast hoses. Some coupling are or can be equipped with lock mechanism to prevent accidental disconnecting. Many of these couplings offer high flow due to optimized valve design.

We also have the possibility to offer custom made quick couplings, based on the specific need of the customer.

Pressure Relief Valves and Safety Heads

Controlling Pressure

• Pressure relief valves from 100 bar (1,500 psi) up to 5.170 bar (75,000 psi)

• Rupture discs from 6,2 bar (90 psi) to 7.929 bar (115,000 psi)

• Pressure relief valves are designed to protect the system form pressure increase. They are used for liquids and gases and are offered in multiple construction types (metal seat or soft seat) with adjustable opening in defined ranges. For the safety of your application we deliver factory set, sealed and stamped. However, they are not suitable for continuous draining.

• Safety heads and rupture discs offer an economical and dependable relief port to guard against system over-pressure. they can be installed in any standard coupling.
Inconel is standard for the burst disc, but other materials are available, based on pressure, temperature and media.

Adapters, Couplings and Nipples

Connecting Anything

•  Standard components up to 10.342 bar (150,000 psi), on request up to 14.000 bar (200,000 psi)

• Various connection types: NPT, BSP, SAE, JIC, Single Ferrule, Medium Pressure Cone and Thread, High Pressure Cone and Thread, Reverse Cone, FCC, QS and MPI.

We offer a complete line of standard couplings, nipples, reducers and adapters, many of them from stock or with short delivery term, made from cold worked stainless steel or high strength steel. Specific materials are available on request.

We can design and manufacture special elements or manifolds to connect different types of connections and sizes in order to reduce the number of components used in the system. But remember, maximum pressure rating is based on the lowest rating of any component.

Pressure Gauges, Transducers and Thermocouples

Monitor Pressure and Temperature

• Pressure gauges up to 4.000 bar from stock, up to 7.000 bar and higher on request

• Pressure transducers up to 5.000 bar standard, up to 16.000 bar on request

• Thermocouples up to 10.000 bar and 600 °C. Higher temperatures on request

• Pressure gauges are available for pressure ranges up to 7.000 bar in different sizes. For high/low limit setting, electrical contact faces can be added for pressure control. Liquid filing, back or bottom connection are options. We recommend panel mounting for higher pressures.

• Pressure snubbers are recommended to be used for protecting gauges and instrumentation from pressure surges, pulsations and shocks. This will not compromise instrument accuracy or reaction time. Snubbers are offered in 1/4″ and 3/8″ sizes.

• Pressure transducers can be inserted directly in standard high pressure components. With various pressure ratings, process connection options and output electrical signals, we can find the best transducer for your application. For simple usage, we can provide you pressure transducer with USB connection, from vacuum up to 5.000 bar – software included.

• Thermocouples provide reliable temperature measurement within a fluid system, permitting direct temperature monitoring at any point with rapid response time. Having standard connections, these elements can be inserted in any standard item like tee or cross, on in the pressure vessel.

Pressure Vessels and Autoclaves

Any Diameter, Any Length, Any Pressure

• Pressure ranges up to 14.000 bar

•  Flexibility in design

Pressure vessels or autoclaves are designed and manufactured exclusively based on the customers needs in all pressure ranges up to 14.000 bar (200,000 psi).

Vessels are available in several different materials and sizes, allowing them to be used at very high temperatures and pressures. Closure type, sealing system and process connections are designed by us according to the operating conditions (medium, temperature, etc.).

Pressure vessels can be used for chemical reactions, food pasteurization, downhole simulation, catalyst research and implosion and high collapse testing and others. Accessories like heaters, stirrers, shakers and other extensions are available on request.

Each vessel is subjected to a conformity assessment as described in the DGR/Pressure Equipment Directive 97/23 EC before commissioning. Other design codes e.g. ASME, are available.

Hydraulic and Pneumatic Pressure Intensifiers

Generating Pressure

• Up to 14.000 bar (200,000 psi) working pressure

• Hydraulic Intensifiers up to 30 l volume displacement
  

• Air driven liquid pumps / pneumatic powered pressure intensifier convert simple air pressure into high and ultra high liquid pressures by utilizing a large area piston on the air side to move a small area plunger and compressing the liquid into very high hydraulic pressures – up to 4.140 bar (60,000 psi) as standard, and as high as 14.000 bar on special request.

Actuated by compressed air (maximum 7 or 10 bar), the pressure delivered by the liquid side can be adjusted with a manual precision regulator or an automatic proportional pressure regulating valve. These pumps are suitable for explosion-proof system, not needing any electric power supply.

• Hydraulic powered pressure intensifiers can be used for liquids and gases in a continuous or discontinuous operation mode and are driven by hydraulic power unit. They convert hydraulic pressure (usually 210 bar or 350 bar) to high and ultra high liquid pressure, modifying the outlet pressure simply by varying hydraulic pressure. With flexibility in design we can deliver intensifiers with single or double high pressure heads, one or more units can be powered from the same hydraulic unit.
The structure of these intensifiers allow reliable operation and high lifetime, with simple maintenance and easy service.
