Hose Pressure Test Pump (Air Powered)

Part No. FT-010124

Applications:
Air-Powered Pressure Test
Pump for in-situ testing of
fuelling hose integrity to
JIG/API standard periodic
testing requirements.

Features:
 Lightweight and
portable.
 Air Powered.
 Dry-break
connections
 No need to
drain/remove hoses
 Rated for testing up
to 24BAR (350 psi)

Options: Specification
 300 psi test pressure
version The Fluid Transfer Air Powered Hose Pressure Test Pump is designed for
 600 psi test pressure ‘in-situ’ pressure testing of aircraft refuelling vehicle delivery hoses and
version vehicle pipework. It can be used safely in hazardous areas to test
vehicles with standard 63mm (2 ½”) underwing refuelling nozzles.

An air-driven hydraulic piston pump is fed from an outside compressed


air supply source via an adjustable air pressure regulator and filter. Fuel
is pumped through a wire reinforced hose to an adaptor (Hose Pressure
Test Coupling DBA10605) which connects to the 63mm (2 ½”) underwing
refuelling Hose End Pressure Control nozzle fitted to the end of an
aircraft refuelling hose.

Just three actions are required to operate the pump.


 Connect a filtered, compressed air supply not exceeding 7bar
(100psi) to the pump.
 Top up the filtered low-pressure fluid supply to the inlet valve
from the tank.
 Connect the high-pressure PTFE steel braised hose, (to the Hose
Pressure Test Coupling) to the test hose.

Hose Pressure Test Pump (Air Powered)

Part No. FT-010124


Technical Data
Mounted in an Aluminium construction frame the pump consists of a
driven hydraulic pump, which draws fuel from a 20 litre capacity
reservoir via a gauze suction strainer. Fuel is pumped through a
reinforced hose to an adaptor connected to the 63mm (2 ½”) underwing
nozzle fitted to the end of an aircraft refuelling hose.

The air-driven hydraulic pump is fed from an outside air pressure supply
source via an adjustable air pressure regulator/filter and fitted with a
pressure gauge. The hydraulic pump is capable of delivering 40bar (600
psi), but the rated test pressure is restricted to 20bar (300 psi) when
testing the hoses using the Pressure Test Coupling DBA10605.

The outlet side of the pump is fitted with a calibrated gauge and an
isolating valve, which is set closed when the correct pressure is reached.
A pressure release valve releases the ‘locked in’ pressure into the
reservoir once the pressure test has been completed.

The inlet to the air pressure regulator terminates in a quick disconnect


coupling (both halves of the coupling are provided) The removable
female half coupling is fitted with a hose tail for connection to a suitable
6mm (1/4”) bore air supply hose. The fuel reservoir has a fill cap and
drain valve.

Just three connections are required to operate the pump.


 A filtered air supply not exceeding 7bar (100psi) to the pump via
the air filter-regulating valve. Please note: Under no
circumstances must the applied air pressure to allowed to
exceed 7.0bar (100 psi).
 A filtered fuel supply to the inlet valve from the tank. A positive
head of fluid is recommended for maximum performance.
 The high-pressure tube to the outlet valve from the Hose
Pressure Test Coupling DBA10605.

Dimensions:
542mm x 404mm x 615mm

Dry Weight:
25 KGS

Maintenance
After each use – Remove the air filter bowl and wipe away any moisture
or water.
 Remove air filter bowl and wash air filter element in clean jet
fuel.
 Clean thoroughly with compressed air jet and replace.
 Withdraw strainer element to drain reservoir. Wash thoroughly
in clean jet fuel and replace.
 Re-fill reservoir within approximately 50mm of the top with
clean jet fuel
