A10 - End caps for plastic pipes
ergonomic and versatile
Technical specifications
max. 100 bar (1,450psi)
max. 110 °C (230 °F)
max. DN 250 (10")
The A10 end caps were developed for pressure testing on solid wall plastic pipes. They comply with the respective standards (ISO 1167-1 Type A bzw. ASTM D1598 / D1599 free end) and can be used for long-term hydrostatic pressure testing as well as for burst- or pulsation- / clyclic pressure testing. The end closures were developed in cooperation with several experienced users and experts in the field of pressure testing. They combine form and function in a remarkable way and therefore have numerous features that make them unique in terms of handling and useability. The versatile options for connecting the pressure supply enable maximum flexibility. In this way, the closures can be adapted quickly and easily to fit for any testing application and to any test equipment.
Time-saving
Very low requirements for sample preparation (no chamfering and no lubrication required) as well as the quick assembly principle reduce the amount of labour and thus increase the economic efficiency.
Easy push-fit assembly
The patented design is based on the proven "push-fit" principle and enables ergonomic assembly and disassembly by hand with the minimum amount of tools required.
Compatible with all pressure test systems
Connections for use with all common pressure test systems are available.
​
​
​
Lightweight design
All components are weight-optimized in order to achieve the highest level of user-friendliness and occupational safety.
​
Suitable for all common testing conditions
The end caps are suitable for all common testing conditions. Test pressures of up to 100 bar and test temperatures of up to 110 °C are covered safely.
​
Versatile connection options
The optionally available connector offers a wide range of options for adapting to the respective test requirements (pressure connection, purging, suspension).
Horizontal stability
Flat surfaces on the claws stabilize the mounted test specimen in a lying position and prevent the claws from falling over or rolling away during assembly.
Vertical stability
A distinct collar on the cap offers increased stability due to a larger contact surface. At the same time, it serves as a secure grip surface for handling and disassembly.
Compatible with all solid-wall plastic pipes
Suitable sizes are available for all common solid wall plastic pipes (metric, IPS, CTS). The end caps are compatible with all pipe materials (PA, PB, PE, PE-X, PP, PVC).
​
Completely made of stainless steel
All components are made of high quality and durable, non-corrosive materials.
​
​
Fast filling & emptying
The large main pressure connection enables convenient pre-filling of the specimen after the caps have already been installed. Likewise this allows for quick emptying after testing.
Easy handling
The shape of the end caps and claws enables safe and convenient handling during testing, assembly, disassembly and storage.
​
Maximum flexibility
​
The A10 closures are compatible for using the connector. This means that every closure can be adapted for every application and every pressure connection. Thread adapters as well as connection nipples and couplings are available for the most common test devices.
