hydro testing machine
A Hydro Testing Machine is one of the most important systems in a modern steel pipe production line. Before pipes are delivered to customers, every product must be pressure tested to verify its strength, sealing performance, and compliance with international quality standards.
Marley's Hydro Testing Machine for Pipe is designed for seamless steel pipes, ERW pipes, LSAW pipes, SSAW pipes, stainless steel pipes, and alloy steel pipes. Every machine is custom-built according to your pipe diameter, wall thickness, pipe length, required test pressure, and production capacity.
With a heavy-duty hydraulic structure, PLC automatic control, and a high-pressure plunger pump, the system provides stable pressure testing, reliable sealing performance, and efficient operation for continuous industrial production.

How the Hydro Testing Machine Works
The testing process is fully automated to ensure stable pressure control and consistent testing results throughout continuous production.
Hydro Testing Process
Pipe Loading → Pipe Positioning → End-face Sealing → Water Filling → Air Exhaust → Pressure Boosting → Pressure Holding → Pressure Release → Pipe Unloading
The entire process is monitored by the PLC control system to ensure stable pressure, repeatable testing results, and safe operation.
