Hydrotechnik (UK), based in Nottingham, have extensive experience in the design, development, manufacture and commissioning of fluid power test rigs. Hydrotechnik test rigs are used in demanding and ‘mission critical’ applications including defence, manufacturing quality control, plant maintenance and Research and Development.  Users of Hydrotechnik test rigs rigorously test hydraulic hoses, moulded coolant hoses, pipes, manifolds, tanks, accumulators, and valves to ensure they are fit for that purpose.

Hydrotechnik test rigs are designed and manufactured to operate safely and reliably at up to 15,000 psi. They can be operated with a multitude of liquids, such as oil, water, water and oil mixtures, and with ‘aggressive media’ including Skydrol and Jet A1.

Hydrotechnik have designs for a range of ‘standard’ rigs for common applications which offer value for money. Alternatively the team can take customer specifications and develop a bespoke solution for more demanding or specialist applications including end of production line rigs with automated process controls, integral instrumentation and data recording.

Hydrotechnik’s experienced engineering and manufacturing teams can design and build:

·         Pressure and bursting pressure test benches

·         Pulse and durability test benches

·         Endurance and fatigue testing rigs

·         Leak test benches

·         Functional test benches

·         Pressure gauge adjusting systems

Hydrotechnik’s turnkey service includes everything from taking the initial brief through to delivery to site, installation, commissioning and staff training. All Hydrotechnik rigs are designed, using a sophisticated 3D CAD system, and manufactured under ISO 9001 procedures to the highest engineering standards.

Hydrotechnik test rigs can be designed incorporating multi-channel dataloggers that allow the recoding of test data and subsequent analysis using HYDROcom 6 Windows based software or other similar packages. Full traceability for subsequent warranty or quality audits are all catered for.
