Pressure Test and Performance Evaluation of Saddle Repair Clamp

Pressure performance test is essential to verify the reliability of saddle repair clamp.Test items contain static pressure holding test and cyclic pressure fluctuation test,simulating the variable pressure environment of actual pipeline operation.

Different from full encirclement clamps,saddle clamps bear concentrated pressure on local pipe wall.Tests check gasket displacement,shell deformation and local leakage under rated and overload pressure.Only qualified products can be used in engineering projects.

Test data guides product selection.Engineers can choose suitable saddle clamp specifications according to pipeline working pressure,pipe wall thickness and defect size to guarantee repair safety and long term sealing performance.
