Abstract
A safety system for testing high-pressure devices comprising an explosion-proof safety housing; a high-pressure pneumatics testing equipment located within the housing; a closeable access opening in the housing for inserting a high-pressure device for testing within the housing; a device located within the housing for coupling the high-pressure pneumatics testing equipment to the high-pressure device for testing; a control panel located outside the housing; and a device linking the high-pressure pneumatics testing equipment to the control panel for operating the high-pressure pneumatics testing equipment within the safety housing from the control panel.
Claims19
A safety system for testing high-pressure devices comprising:
- an explosion-proof safety housing;
- a high-pressure pneumatics testing equipment located within said housing;
- a bleed valve coupled to said high-pressure pneumatics testing equipment;
- a closeable access opening in said housing for inserting a high-pressure device for testing within said housing;
- means within said housing for coupling said high-pressure pneumatics testing equipment to said high-pressure device for testing;
- a control panel located remote from said housing;
- and
- means linking said high-pressure pneumatics testing equipment to said control panel for operating said high-pressure pneumatics testing equipment within said safety housing from said control panel.
A safety system for testing high-pressure devices comprising:
- an explosion-proof safety housing;
- high-pressure pneumatics testing equipment located within said housing;
- a closeable access opening in said housing for inserting a high-pressure device for testing within said housing;
- means within said housing for coupling said high-pressure pneumatics testing equipment to said high-pressure device for testing;
- a control panel located remote from said housing;
- a bleed valve coupled to said high-pressure testing equipment;
- a sensor for sensing that said access opening is closed, said sensor coupled to said bleed valve to activate said bleed valve to prevent pressure buildup in the high-pressure testing equipment if the access opening is not closed;
- and
- means linking said high-pressure pneumatics testing equipment to said control panel for operating said high-pressure pneumatics testing equipment within said safety housing from said control panel.
A method for safely testing high-pressure devices comprising the steps of:
- providing an explosion-proof safety housing;
- placing a low-pressure pump, an intermediate-pressure pump, and a high-pressure pump within said housing to provide sequential increase in the pressure to said testing high-pressure devices;
- forming a closeable access opening in said housing;
- inserting a high-pressure device for testing within said housing through said access opening;
- providing a control panel outside said housing;
- coupling said control panel to the testing equipment inside said housing;
- and then
- operating said high-pressure pneumatics testing equipment from said control panel for testing high-pressure devices.
