MacArtney Develops New Hydrostatic Pressure Vessels
Esbjerg-based, MacArtney, has presented its new range of hydrostatic pressure vessels.
The company provides hydrostatic test facilities and services, but also designs and supplies its own range of pressure vessels with alternative dimensions and pressure rating.
According to the company , with a pressure capacity up to 690 bar, MacArtney standard pressure vessels can readily simulate the hydrostatic operating conditions at 7000 metres of ocean depth.
The entire testing process is computer controlled, with real time electric and optical measurements.
“When it comes to hydrostatic pressure testing, we have managed to develop a tried and trusted system concept based on the advanced pressure vessels which are currently deployed by MacArtney and customer test facilities in Denmark, Norway, the UK, France, Holland and Germany alike,” says a MacArtney spokesperson.
Furthermore, the control software enables plug-and-play testing, bespoke test programmes and repeated pressure cycling, as well as lid integrated penetrators and the ‘clamp-lock’ system. Optional features also include live video monitoring and in-vessel temperature control.
