Product catalog summary
Overview: The TestMaster® Model LPHE Series Hydrostatic Test Tools are designed for hydrostatic pressure testing, air underwater testing, and cleaning applications. They support pressures up to 5,000 psi (345 bar) and tube diameters from 0.13 in. to 3.00 in. (3.2 mm to 76.2 mm). The tools are suitable for military, nuclear, automotive, and aerospace testing specifications.
Specifications: The tools are made from heat-treated stainless steel and feature a collet grip and seal on the tube OD. They are available in manual lever-operated and single air-operated models, with an air requirement of 80 - 100 psi (5.5 - 6.9 bar).
Operating Conditions: The tools operate at a maximum pressure of 5,000 psi (345 bar) and temperatures between 32º F to 120º F (0º C to 49º C). They are compatible with helium, water, oil, Skydrol, and other gases and liquids.
Features and Benefits: Key features include a full-flow, high pre-fill rate to decrease cycle time, predetermined internal tube stops for proper engagement, and a low marking collet design to prevent tube end collapse. The pressure-compensated design ensures safe operation, and the compact design allows for use in limited spaces.
Tool Configuration: The tools are precision-machined for long service life and can be used with various test media. They are engineered to contain pressure without additional fixtures and can be equipped with an optional NuQuip® Automatic Air-Bleed Valve for optimal performance.
Operation: To operate, connect the tool to the pressure line, retract collets, insert the tube, engage collets, and apply test pressure. After testing, retract collets and remove the tool.
Body Sizes and Dimensions: The tools come in five body sizes, each designed for specific tube OD ranges. Special configurations are available upon request.

Model LPHE Series-1

"UNPARALLELED PERFORMANCE AND SAFETY UNDER PRESSURE!"® DESCRIPTION The TestMaster® Model LPHE Series Hydrostatic Test Tools are specially designed to grip and provide positive sealing for plain end-tubing. The safety pre-grip of the clamping mechanisms assure a constant, positive grip during any work or operation cycle. Tools are available with manual lever operation or pneumatic actuation. The tool can be used with a variety of services including helium, water, oil, Skydrol, and other gases and liquids. This precision-machined tool provides versatility for use in pressure testing applications. The compact, balanced design is particularly suited to space restricted work areas, such as aircraft hydraulic and fuel lines, or residential and commercial heating and cooling systems. TestMaster® Model LPHE Series Hydrostatic Test Tools ■ Pressures up to 5,000 psi (345 bar) ■ 0.13 in. to 3.00 in. OD (3.2 mm to 76.2 mm OD) ■ Collet grip and seal on tube OD ■ Manual lever operated model ■ Single air-operated model ■ Pressure-compensated grip APPLICATION The TestMaster® Model LPHE Series Hydrostatic Test Tool is a snap-on tool suitable for hydrostatic pressure testing, air underwater testing, and cleaning applications with working pressures up to 5,000 psi (345 bar). This tool conforms to military, nuclear, automotive, and aerospace testing specifications such as API, ASTM, ASME, ISO, DIN, and BS. MATERIALS Wetted Parts: Heat-treated, stainless steel TOOL CONFIGURATION Collet Grip and Seal: On tube OD Gripping: Pressure-compensated The Model LPHE Series Tool comes in standard and metric tube, pipe, and fitting sizes from 0.13 in. to 3.00 in. (3.2 mm to 76.2 mm) in diameter. Special tube sizes and tool configurations will be considered upon request. OPERATION Connect the Model LPHE to the pressure line. Retract collets (by spring or handle squeeze). Push tube end into tool until pressed against the tube stop. This instantly provides a complete seal. Engage collets (by handle release or air). Once collets are engaged, tool is ready for safe operation. Next, apply test pressure to desired level, but do not exceed maximum operating pressure. After pressure cycle is complete, retract collets as before and pull tool to remove from tube. Lever Operated: Normally-closed spring clamp and manual lever grip release Single Air-Operated: Normally-open spring release and air-piloted clamp Air Requirement: 80 - 100 psi (5.5 - 6.9 bar) OPERATING CONDITIONS Maximum Pressure: 5,000 psi (345 bar) Temperature: 32° F to 120° F (0° C to 49° C) Services: Helium, water, oil, Skydrol, and other gases and liquids Tube OD Range: 0.13 in. to 3.00 in. (3.2 mm to 76.2 mm) OD Tolerance: Standard tube tolerances
