Metrus test bench BV 36/500 and BV 80/500

Most international valve standards will demand the valve to NOT be exposed to high clamping force prior to the increase of testing pressure – a requirement hardly possible to be achieved with hydraulic clamping. Since more than 40 years, METRUS valve test benches are equipped with our superior automatic seal head technology. Those seal heads directly convert test fluid pressure into clamping pressure, ensuring a smooth and linear clamping force increase along with the increase of test fluid pressure.
