Revolutionary testing system

HAT-Tester

Redefining axial pipe testing

To ensure the safe and reliable design of plastic and composite pipe systems, it is crucial to accurately assess their structural integrity. This involves evaluating how pipes and fittings behave under axial tensile loads, which may be applied during installation (e.g. when pulling or laying) or during operation due to sustained pressure, thermal influences, or ground movements. Conventional axial tensile testing of entire composite pipes and larger-diameter plastic pipes is often impractical due to the high-performance testing machines and associated costs required. The Hydro-Axial Tension (HAT) method was developed to overcome these challenges.

Features and Functionality

The HAT test of the entire pipe is performed using the pressure equipment available in a typical pipe testing laboratory.
Most typical plastic pipes can be tested axially at pressures of less than 100 bar.
The HAT method is a practical and cost-effective way to evaluate the axial tensile strength and joint integrity of pipes where conventional axial tensile testing of the entire pipe is too costly.
The testing device is operated via the IPT user interface.
