1-1/8" Press Fitting Hydrostatic Burst Test
Вставка
- Опубліковано 28 кві 2021
- We put our 1-1/8" Press Fitting to the test and pushed it to the limit. In this hydrostatic test we turn the pressure up to see just how far we can push the fitting and copper tube. Standard refrigerant tube will always burst before the RLS fitting, but in this case we used Type K copper tube because we wanted to force our fitting to fail. The fitting finally burst after reaching 4,157 PSI. It even popped the battery out of our gauge at the end. This is a personal record for our 1-1/8" fitting.
People are asking for a solder joint test next, but a braze joint is what I'd like to see vs a zoomlock fitting.
It would be interesting to see a solder joint in the same test.
Why hasn’t he done it?
@@kryptoniteee poeple have tested solder joints on youtube. look it up and compare
Press fittings are great when installed on a specified supported attachment to prevent vibration. I must add that the fitting is likely guaranteed to perform for up to 25 years. Our home is 72 years old and all soldered fittings are totally leak free. Chlorides or chlorinated water will oxidize exposed copper and in that fitting the pressed wet portion will be eroded and the oring will lose it's elasticity. Solder if you can as it's the best repair or install. However, if the pipe interior is wet and in an observable place where a drip leak is not critical, then I'd use a press fitting and consider it would last well over 25 years.
Water pressure great !
Refrigerant pressure, flow, oil, temperature changes, and vibration might get a different result !
Interesting video ! Thanks 👍
Hydrostatic testing is the ultimate benchmark sir, you could use a hydraulic pump and pressurize it with hydraulic oil but then the tubing would be contaminated and unable to be used for its original application. At least with water you can dehydrate it and use it for refrigeration. It would get your vacuum pump oil pretty saturated with h20 “assuming you blew the water out and then followed it with compressed air and then nitrogen, it will still get the vacuum pump oil dirty.
Very impressive
Wow I am Impressed ! Great explanation!
Very impressive. However a lot of these joints weather by press or bad soldiering usually only fails (dislodged) under shock or pressure spike & not by pressure increases!
Only people who complain is the ones that have not used it yet😂
solder joint test next please
Im sold
Can a test be done showing one end capped, and the other end pressurized to see if the pipe will slide out from the rubber joints or burst at the fitting?
Pex ?
No es real, a esa presión el agua sale como una bala hasta puede perforar lo que esté a su alrededores
The only type of connection you can trust is brazed or solder. These new systems fail after a year or two.
