Water Pressure Testing Chamber 10MPa/20L (Stainless Steel)

SKU: BS-TAE-WPTCH-SSX-10A1
£13,500.00
inc. VAT
The Water Pressure Testing Chamber – 10 MPa / 20 L is a professional-grade hydrostatic testing apparatus constructed from corrosion-resistant 304 stainless steel. It allows engineers and technicians to safely simulate water pressures up to 10 MPa—equivalent to a depth of 1,000 meters—making it ideal for validating the pressure integrity of underwater equipment including enclosures, cable penetrators, and connectors. NOTE:- The delivery cost quoted is an ESTIMATE - a true figure for delivery will be quoted once we have checked with couriers and given you the options and costs available to your location.

Product Description

The chamber includes a manual hydraulic pump, a high-capacity 20 L stainless steel pressure vessel, and a precision-machined hatch cover with 18 penetrator-compatible openings. These ports enable real-time electrical or data connections to devices under test. The hatch cover also features high-strength handles and a rotating lock mechanism with safety ratchets for secure operation during pressure cycling.

The chamber is equipped with quick couplings for easy pressure connections and supports a pressure range of 0–10 MPa with a gauge and pump capable of 0–16 MPa, as well as 8 fulcrum wheels to assist with mobility on level ground. Due to its substantial weight (~200 kg), it must be lifted using appropriate mechanical assistance such as a crane.

Pressure Equipment Compliance & Documentation:
This Water Pressure Testing Chamber is designed as professional hydrostatic pressure-testing equipment for water-filled operation. It is intended for controlled pressure testing of underwater, subsea, and ROV components using water as the test medium.

For use in the European Union, this equipment falls under Sound Engineering Practice for pressure equipment, based on its water-filled hydrostatic design, pressure rating, internal volume, pressure medium, and intended use. Under this classification, CE marking under the Pressure Equipment Directive is not applicable and the equipment should not be CE marked as pressure equipment.

Equipment supplied under Sound Engineering Practice may be placed into use in the EU when it is designed and manufactured according to recognized engineering principles and supplied with appropriate information for safe operation. Blu-Sub provides supporting documentation for this purpose, including safety and operating instructions, product identification, pressure rating information, and relevant pressure-test documentation where applicable.

Local requirements may still apply depending on the country, facility, and intended use. These may include workplace-safety rules, local registration, inspection, approval, or periodic examination requirements. The end user is ultimately responsible for confirming and meeting any local requirements before use.

Blu-Sub can provide reasonable technical documentation and product information to support customer-led internal reviews and local compliance assessments.

This equipment is suitable for pressure testing of subsea products in R&D, QA, and prototyping workflows. It requires basic hydraulic knowledge and safe handling practices. A pressure relief penetrator tool (HOP6 hex wrench) is recommended for maintenance. Operators should also be aware of the recommended water fill level (~25 L total capacity) and must dry steel bolts after use to prevent corrosion.

Important: This device is intended for professional use only. Pressure should never exceed the rated 10 MPa. Any visible deformation, unusual force required during operation, or fluid leakage indicates the need to stop immediately. Operators are responsible for understanding hydraulic safety protocols and for preventing water damage to surrounding environments or damage to test items due to over-pressurisation.

Disclaimer:
 

This equipment is intended for professional use. Operators must have a fundamental understanding of hydraulic safety principles and must operate, handle, and maintain the chamber in accordance with the provided operating instructions and applicable local safety requirements. Safe operation, including appropriate risk controls and supervision, remains the responsibility of the end user.

Examples of situations that can result in damage, injury, or property loss include (but are not limited to):
1. Damage caused by misuse, improper setup, unauthorized modification, disassembly, or failure to follow the operating instructions.
2. Injury or damage caused by improper lifting, moving, or securing of the chamber due to its weight.
3. Damage caused by inadequate support or load-bearing capacity of the installation surface or handling equipment.
4. Injury caused by high-pressure fluid release, pressurized components, or improper connections.
5. Water leakage or spillage during filling, venting, pressurization, or depressurization causing damage to surrounding areas.
6. Damage to the test item caused by exceeding its rated pressure tolerance or improper test procedure.
