Valves regulate flow, pressure, and direction within piping networks. Plastic valves—made from PVC, CPVC, PP, and PVDF—are prized for chemical resistance and corrosion protection. Rigorous testing ensures valves operate reliably under mechanical stress, temperature variation, and fluid dynamics. Shijiazhuang Zhongshi Testing Machine Co., Ltd. offers specialized plastic valve testing equipments engineered for comprehensive performance evaluation.
Primary Test Capabilities
Leakage and Seat Tightness: Low‑ and high‑pressure leak tests evaluate seat and stem seals. Bubble detection or mass flow meters quantify leakage rates to as low as 0.001 mL/min.
Shell and Seat Strength: Burst and proof pressure tests validate valve body and internal components. Automated sequences ramp pressure to proof level, hold, and then ramp to burst, per ISO 9393 and API 598.
Cycle Testing: Automated actuators open and close valves through thousands of cycles, tracking torque, opening/closing time, and leak rates after each cycle to simulate service life.
Temperature and Pressure Shock: Rapid temperature change chambers paired with pressure pulses assess valve integrity under thermal shock conditions.
