Automated Pressure Control System

The APP Automated Pressure Control System (APCS) is designed to provide precise pressure generation and control for both pneumatic and hydraulic applications. The pneumatic system operates from atmospheric pressure up to 5,000 psi using air or nitrogen, while the hydraulic system operates up to 60,000 psi using compatible fluids such as water, oil, or alcohol.

Automated Pressure Control System

Overview

The APP Automated Pressure Control System (APCS) is designed to provide precise pressure generation and control for both pneumatic and hydraulic applications. The pneumatic system operates from atmospheric pressure up to 5,000 psi using air or nitrogen, while the hydraulic system operates up to 60,000 psi using compatible fluids such as water, oil, or alcohol. The APCS is fully automated and microprocessor-controlled, allowing users to program multiple pressure setpoints, hold times, dwell times, and pressurization rates. The system can operate as a standalone unit or be integrated into larger automated testing or manufacturing systems.

  • High-precision pressure transducer for accurate monitoring and feedback.
  • User-defined pressure profiles, hold times, dwell times, and pressurization rates.
  • Pressure cycling feature allows fatigue testing.
  • Tests can be performed under elevated temperature to simulate actual operating conditions (optional).
  • Multi-level, fail-safe system provides over-pressurization protection.
  • Fully automated system with Windows-based control and data acquisition software.
  • Compatible with Windows ’98 and higher.
  • Real-time graphical display of pressure profiles and system performance.
  • Multiple pressure output ports for flexible system integration.
  • Automatic pressure generator refill for high volume situations.
  • Multiple pressure generator systems for continuous and multi-axis pressurization (optional).
  • Customized report formats available.
  • Minimal maintenance required.
