NHC Invests in Pressure Cycle Tester
and uses a solenoid to actuate the shut-off and release valves. The skid contains a pressure transmitter of 30,000psi to monitor outlet pressure. It can run on an infinite amount of cycles and is designed to cut out in the event of a controller failure. Cycles are configured and operated using our Yokogawa and new data acquisition system allowing for complete documentation and recording. This new function is of particular interest for companies looking to determine the functionality and durability of equipment such as valves and hydraulic rams at varied depths. nationalhyperbariccentre.com
