Description
ISO 13477 RCP Rapid Crack Propagation Tester

The RCP Rapid Crack Propagation Tester is primarily used to evaluate the performance of materials when subjected to rapid stress, especially the crack propagation that may occur in structures such as pipes and containers. This type of testing is critical to ensuring the safety and reliability of materials, especially those used under high pressure or extreme environmental conditions.
By using the RCP Rapid Crack Propagation Tester, manufacturers can better understand how materials behave under various conditions, thereby improving product design and manufacturing processes, and ultimately improving product quality and market competitiveness. In addition, as technology advances, these test devices are also evolving, becoming more intelligent and highly accurate to meet increasingly complex industrial needs.
Application: ISO 13477 RCP Rapid Crack Propagation Tester is used to determine the critical pressure or critical temperature for rapid crack propagation.
Testing standard:
ISO 13477 Thermoplastics pipes for the conveyance of fluids — Determination of resistance to rapid crack propagation (RCP)— Small-scale steady-state test (S4 test) etc.
RCP End Cap:
lt consists of front & rear sealing part, limiting ring, baffles, o-rings, etc. A variety of specifications are selected, including ∅63mm, ∅110mm, ∅160mm, ∅250mm, ∅315mm, ∅400mm and ∅ 500mm
Character:
1.Rational structure and accurate impact speed. There is energy storage device in basic unit,which shall convert elastic potential energy into kinetic energy,that the impact speed range can be controlled between1mls and 20m/s.
2.Industrial control terminal was introduced and colorful touch screen display provides more information to operator,such as sample pretreatment time, pipe inside current pressure, impact speed, length of crack and test temperature, etc.
3.Fast pressure filling and accurate pressure control. For pipes DN200 toDN500, setting pressure can be arrived within 30s.
4.Thanks to the module design, system can be updated and extended to be suitable for different sizes of pipes.
5.High rigid frame enhance the bearing strength of system and multiple buffers in the frame reduce impact force from the high velocity striker, so that the component connection keep perfect after repeated trials.
6.High-efficiency and reliable energy storage system. Energy storage system with a high storage speed and striker lifting system can be locked firmly or released quickly.
7.The easily adjustable support and the simple assembly & positioning system with quick coupling saves time and has proved to work outstandingly well in operation with samples.
8.Automatic security confirmation system. It means the correct locations of the test sample and the striker blade are identified automatically, so that the collision of the sample assembly with the striker blade is prohibited and the blade will not be released when the sample is not in position.
