9. FAQ: Hose Machinery & Technical Terms
1. What is the main difference between a hose test bench and a hydraulic hose test bench?
A hose test bench can typically test a broad variety of industrial hoses (air, water, chemical), while a hydraulic hose test bench is engineered for extremely high pressures (up to 2000 bar) and hydraulic fluid compatibility, designed per ISO 1402 and ANSI B31.1 standards.
2. What materials are used in SNP-T150 for pressure chamber construction?
10mm-thick 304 or 316L stainless steel for main chamber (ISO SS certified), with high-impact polycarbonate for viewing windows. All seals are NBR/FKM rated for oil and water glycol compatibility.
3. How often should preventive maintenance be performed?
Routine checks (visual, leak, functionality) every 250 cycles; full calibration and pump inspection per 6,000 cycles, using NIST-traceable standards.
4. What is the meaning of "burst test" and "impulse test" in hose testing?
Burst test applies static pressure until the hose fails, determining its max strength; Impulse test cyclically pressurizes/depressurizes the hose to simulate actual operating life according to ISO 6803/ISO 1402.
5. Can SNP-T150 accommodate rubber, thermoplastic, and PTFE hoses?
Yes. Its universal clamping fixtures and programmable pressure ramps allow safe testing of all industrial hose materials up to 2" diameter, including stainless spiral-reinforced types.
6. Is installation and training included with purchase?
On-site commissioning is available globally. Every unit includes full digital and print operation manuals, calibration guides, and virtual classroom training (English, German, Spanish, Chinese).
7. Are there options for custom PLC logic or automated test reporting?
Absolutely. The SNP-T150’s PLC can be tailored for user-specific pressure profiles, pre-defined test scenarios, and outputs fully automated PDF/CSV test reports for quality traceability.
