Australian Pump Industries Aussie BB100HTP portable hydrostatic leak tester

The Aussie BB100HTP is a compact 100 bar hydrostatic tester for detecting leaks and checking the integrity of water pipes.

The tester consists of a high-pressure triplex pump that is easy to service and maintain. The pump is powered by a heavy-duty 2.2 kW four-pole, single-phase electric motor.

The machine features a double-gauge and double-valve system that enables the pressure to be locked off in the line after pressurisation. Both the pump and line pressures can be monitored continuously and simultaneously.

The testers are equipped with a variable pressure regulation valve. The user sets the pressure the kit is required to reach. Once the system has reached the testing pressure, the operator locks off the valve’s isolating the test piece. After a mandatory period of static test, the operator can clearly see if pressure has been maintained.

The testers are built tough, with simple instructions and safety features incorporated. They come fitted with safety valves that protect both the machine and operator in the event of an accidental pressure spike.

The machine has a variety of other uses, including testing boilers, pressure vessels, pumps, valves or fire mains. A gun/hose kit, which enables the machine to double as a washdown unit, is available as an optional extra.
