Rapid Crack Propagation

RCP Test Unit

• The RCP Test Unit consists of a tower from which a weight is released, allowing the pipe to be tested at a variable speed from 1 m/s up to 20 m/s.
• It features a touchscreen interface that allows you to input all test parameters: conditioning time, sample temperature, internal pipe pressure, and impact velocity.
• A safety system prevents the impact of the hammer on the pipe if the sample is not positioned correctly.

Conditioning Chamber

• Equipped with pneumatic doors, the conditioning chamber saves time and energy consumption during the test execution.
• The target temperature of -30°C for the test specimen can be reached in just 10 minutes.
• The chamber dimensions are customizable according to customer needs and can vary based on the number of pipe samples you wish to condition simultaneously.

Sample Transfer Unit

• This system is designed to allow the sample to be moved from the conditioning chamber to the test tower within 3 minutes of specimen conditioning.
• The system includes an integrated monitor that provides information related to the ongoing test.
