5-Line Hydrostatic Pipe Pressure Testing Machine
Designed for hydrostatic internal pressure testing of thermoplastic pipes, fittings, and pressure components. Delivers fully automated testing cycles with digital reporting, database management, and network connectivity, giving a reliable determination of pipe service life per ISO 1167. This AL HBT 5 configuration — Number of Lines: 5; Max. Test Pressure: 80 Bar; Burst Test Pressure: 160 Bar; Pump Capacity: 200 Bar.
Why Choose the AL HBT 5 Hydrostatic Pressure Tester
The AL HBT 5 automates the entire hydrostatic pressure testing process for thermoplastic pipes and fittings — from filling and pressurizing each line to detecting burst failure and logging the result — so your lab can run ISO 1167, ASTM D1598, and ASTM D1599 test programs unattended, around the clock, with a repeatability manual test rigs can't match. Investing in this system means faster throughput across 5 independent lines, verifiable digital records for every certificate you issue, and far fewer hours spent watching gauges by hand.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a hydrostatic pressure test?
The pipe or fitting is filled with water, closed with end caps and held at a constant internal pressure and temperature until a specified time or failure. It proves long-term pressure resistance to ISO 1167, ASTM D1598 and, for short-time burst, ASTM D1599.
What pressures does the AL HBT 5 reach?
Maximum test pressure is 80 bar and burst test pressure 160 bar, with a 200 bar pump, 0.01 bar sensor resolution and 0.25% sensor accuracy.
How long can a test run?
Tests can run for 10,000 hours and more. Each of the 5 lines is controlled independently, so different samples can be started, stopped or vented without interrupting the others.
What else is needed for a complete test setup?
A temperature-controlled water tank and end caps matching the pipe diameters you test. Alarge supplies both, as well as 3- and 10-line versions of the tester.
