After cutting and preparing the pipe…
- Sample above : ¾” NPS pipe pitted due to years of exposure
- Performed 6,000 PSI (420 bar) hydrostatic proof test
- 1,000 Psi (70 bar) nitrogen leak test
- Zero leakage detected
PYPLOK TEST SUMMARY
| TEST | REQUIREMENTS | RESULTS |

| Hydrostatic Burst | Based on 4 x Operating Pressure held for 5 minutes | No leakage |
| Hydrostatic Proof | Based on 1.5 x Operating Pressure held for 5 minutes | No leakage |
| Vibration Test | 20,000,000 cycles at displacement @ operating pressure | Passed |
| Impulse Test | 500,000 cycles @ 1.33 x Operating Pressure based on ISO/BS Impulse Cycle | Passed |
| Impulse/Flexure and Fatigue at Low Temperature | Simultaneous impulse and bending stress, 8 times during test of 10,000 cycles each under peak pressure and rated bending each fitting was subjected to -100 deg F for one hour utilizing liquid CO2. | No leakage |
| Tensile Test | Fitting was installed in tensile machine with cross head speed of 0.20 in/min and pulled until one side of pipe dismembered from the fitting/pipe joint | Exceeded Tensile Strength by a factor of 1.33 to 1.63 |
| Torsion Test | At various Torsion Angles and Ft-Lbs of Torque @4500 Psig (Gn2) and 6000 Psig (Hydraulic Fluid) | No Leakage |
| Heat Aging | Maintained at 400 deg F ± 5 deg F for 168 hours, Proof test @ 6000 Psig for 30 minutes | Passed |
