Everything Required for the Test

How to perform short term pressure test

The purpose of the short term pressure test is to determine the burst strength of pipes, tubing, or fittings by applying internal water pressure until failure occurs.

The SCITEQ BurstONE plug’n play unit offers one pressure station supplying up to 200 bar and up to 15 l/min.
The expandable SIGMA pressure system can be configured with a mix of pressure outlets according to your test needs and at the required pressure range and flow.

Both solutions are controlled by the smart and intuitive online software

Step-by-Step Guide to short term pressure test. Burst Test in 60–70 Seconds (Procedure A):

  1. Prepare the Specimen: Pipe is cut to minimum 5x its outer diameter (min. 300 mm) and closed using end caps.

  2. Fill the System with Water: The pipe is completely filled with water, ensuring no trapped air.

  3. Temperature conditioning: The sample is conditioned at 23 ±2°C for at least 1 hour.

  4. Test setup: The pipe is connected to a hydraulic pressure system and fully immersed in a temperature-controlled water bath

  5. Pressure ramp: Internal pressure is increased continuously and uniformly so the sample bursts within 60–70 seconds.

  6. Data recording: The maximum pressure at failure is recorded. Any failure outside 60–70 seconds invalidates the test.

Important: Ensure all safety protocols are followed. Use protective barriers and personal protective equipment, as the failure may be sudden and forceful.

Use a pressure source such as SCITEQ BurstONE for this test. The BurstONE unit offers one pressure station with linear pressure ramp.

A test report will be generated automatically via the SCITEQ control software.

This test is relevant for R&D or production validation, and suitable for ISO and ASTM standards.
