Gasket Test Rigs

The function of gasketed joints is significantly determined by the properties of the gasket. These are necessary for both the selection of a suitable gasket and the required proof of tightness and integrity. Additionally, these characteristics are required for quality assurance purposes by the gasket manufacturers.

The most important properties are summarized in a set of (standardized) gasket factors.

amtec developed a series of test rigs to determine gasket properties – accurately and cost-effectively. Tests can be performed according to national and international standards as well as according to user-defined procedures.

TEMES fl.ai1
multifunctional test rig TEMES fl.ai1 (all in one)

Our multifunctional gasket test rig TEMESfl.ai1 provides

  • compression tests
  • compressive creep testing
  • creep/relaxation testing
  • leakage testing

at room temperature or elevated temperature, as well as under load or internal pressure.

The test rig can be operated both

  • manually and fully
  • automatically,

which represents a decisive advantage for long testing periods.

TEMES fl.relax
test rig for creep/relaxation testing: TEMES fl.relax

Especially for

  • creep/relaxation testing

we developed the TEMESfl.relax test rig to shorten the time-consuming investigation of various parameters (load, temperature, stiffness) by using several test rigs.

TEMES ta.luft
test rig to investigate gasket quality: TEMES ta.luft

The TEMESta.luft test rig is designed for component testing of

  • real flanged connections

to investigate gasket quality in terms of the TA Luft (the German Clean Air Act). Here, the sealing behaviour is determined after a previous exposure to temperature.

TEMES fire.safe
testing device to test flange joints and valves for their fire resistance: TEMES fire.safe

The testing device TEMESfire.safe is engineered to test

  • flanged joints and valves

for their fire resistance. User-defined test procedures or tests according to e.g. API 607, API 6FA or API 6FB  as well as EN ISO 10497, BS 6755-2 can be conducted.

Klinger test rigs

Klinger test rig

 
In 2006, we officially took over the support for

  • Klinger testing presses.

We carry out maintenance and repair and we offer upgrading of testing equipment with modern hardware and software.

In use worldwide

Today, we are regarded as the leading global supplier of gasket test rigs. Our test rigs can be found on nearly every continent. Our service – which doesn't come to an end once the product has been delivered – ensures satisfied customers everywhere. Simple support queries are just as much a part of our range of services as regular maintenance and recalibration of testing equipment.

Other test rigs

We have also developed special solutions when required, e.g. a test rig for

  • high temperature applications up to 1650 F / 900 °C,

or for

  • gaskets with large nominal sizes

which needed to be tested in individual segments.

We have also carried out modernizations to older test rigs from other manufacturers – this is not limited to Klinger test rigs.
