Testing Systems and Testing Equipment:Primon Automazioni designs and build testing and calibration systems. These testing lines can be integrated into assembly systems, stand alone systems for automatic testing, or manual test benches. The types of testing procedure that are commonly used are: Leak Testing:Leak testing can be performed with air or water at either high or low pressures. Leak testing can also be performed with vacuum. An common example of testing with air pressure is a test procedure called "pressure decay" testing. In a pressure decay leak test, the component being testing is filled to a predefined pressure based on the standard being met. The inlet of air is blocked off once the proper pressure has been reached and is then monitored for a decay or decrease of air pressure, indicating a leak failure. Naturally, your testing standards may contain a permissible pressure loss depending upon the component being tested. Conversely, a vacuum test would be used to monitor for an increase in pressure. Pressure decay leak testing with air is a preferred testing procedure when you do not wish to have a residue from the test procedure (such as water left inside a valve). Air is generally only used for testing smaller volume components up to 1000kPa, or about 150 psi. High Pressure Testing:High pressure testing is used for inspection of components that are usually going to be used under high pressure or stress. Oil or water can be used to increase the internal pressure to verify a safety margin of operation for items such as oil field valves. High pressure testing can also be used for determining the actual "burst pressure" of a component, such as a pressure test for a hose. Flow Testing:Water or air can be used for flow testing. An air flow test can be used to determine that an internal passage is open in a casting, or that a valve passed a certain volume when open. Flow testing with water can be combined with calibration as with a thermostatic valve for a bath or shower. Torque Testing:Torque testing is often performed during the screwing or tightening process, to affix a part or component at a predetermined, programmed value of torque. However, it is often required to check the torque or force required to move an object within an assembled item, such as to check the torque required to rotate a valve.
Among the products offered by Primon Automazioni are the programmable stands or benches with interchangeable equipment to allow for testing of various configurations of products for:
Two very common application of the testing equipment is for Valve and Faucet Testing, and Visual Inspection Systems utilizing cameras.
