Project
Readiness Package.
The current, manually controlled, hydrostatic test
apparatus needs to be redesigned so that test
automation can occur via a digital control
interface. The interface includes editable
parameters for the pressure, ramp rate, and hold
time of the test being performed. Once these
variables are set, the test is able to take place.
All of these parameters are automatically
controlled within the system so that the technician
can observe the test and capture the results. The
design for the new test apparatus must include
minimal system maintenance, an easily programmable
digital interface, ability to interface with the
existing pump and test enclosures, test automation,
and able to withstand a maximum internal pressure
of 10,000 PSI. The apparatus is designed around
performing tests on electrical enclosures to ensure
they meet the operational specifications as
outlined in standards UL1203, UL2225, and CSA22.2
no.30. These standards provide the basis for all
tests performed by the hydrostatic test apparatus.
