Volumetric Test Benches

Banco di prova volumetrico opus automazione in ambiente industriale, con interfaccia touchscreen e sistema di misurazione ad alta precisione.

Measurement of Expansion Under Pressure

Volumetric test benches are designed to accurately measure the volumetric expansion of a component when subjected to high static pressures.
These tests make it possible to assess the mechanical strength and structural integrity of materials, ensuring that the component maintains its performance even under intense and prolonged stress conditions.

Thanks to advanced measuring systems, these benches can also detect micro-deformations, providing essential data for the design, certification, and improvement of components.

Objective of volumetric test benches

  1. Precise measurement of volumetric expansion under static loads, even on flexible or elastically deformable materials
    High-sensitivity detection of even the smallest volume variations under static pressure, ideal for components made of flexible or slightly deformable materials.

  2. Reproduction of real operating conditions for meaningful and representative tests
    Enables the simulation of real-world usage scenarios, ensuring reliable and representative results under actual stress conditions.

  3. Stable and adjustable pressure control for customized testing
    Accurate management of test pressure with the ability to adapt each test to the specific characteristics of the component being examined.

  4. Compatibility with different materials, geometries, and formats
    Suitable for a wide range of components, including non-standard ones, thanks to the flexible configuration of the test bench.

  5. Easy integration into R&D laboratories or quality control lines
    Designed for seamless implementation in laboratories or testing lines, with connectivity and usability tailored for technical and production environments.

Applications and Reference Standards

Volumetric test benches are used in industries where even minimal deformations can compromise the functionality or safety of the final system:

  • Automotive – Testing of tanks, actuators, hydraulic circuits, and components subject to expansion

  • Aerospace – Validation of pressure containers, tanks, and lightweight structural components

  • Chemical and Pharmaceutical – Verification of containers, piping, and devices for liquids or gases under pressure

  • Industrial Automation – Testing of pressurized systems, valve bodies, and technical components

The quality standards to be met refer to regulations governing the operation of the test bench itself:

  • ISO 13968 – Measurement of volume change under pressure

  • ISO 1167 – Long-term pressurization and expansion testing for plastic pipes

  • Customer-specific or internal standards (e.g., OEM specifications, test books, ATEX)

Technical Features

  • High-precision measurement system – Capable of detecting even micro-variations in volume.

  • Controlled static pressurization – Fully customizable parameters based on the component type.

  • Real-time data acquisition – Automated recording with an intuitive user interface.

  • Compatibility with different materials and formats – Suitable for non-standard components or custom specifications.

  • Integrated safety systems – Ensuring operator and bench protection during every test.
