TEST BENCH FOR CONTROL (THROTTLE) PIPELINE VALVES OF OUTBOARD DESIGN FOR DETERMINATION OF FLOW CHARACTERISTICS Russian patent published in 2024 - IPC G01M3/28 

FIELD: machine building.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to machine building, in particular, to pipeline valves of outboard design and is intended for testing of control (throttle) pipeline valves of outboard design for determination of flow characteristics in production conditions. Test bench for control (throttle) pipeline valves of outboard design for determination of flow characteristics contains inlet and outlet pipelines, two pressure gauges, a flow meter, a pump unit and a sealed chamber consisting of a housing with three connectors, one of which is compatible with an adapter containing a connector for the tested product, and the other two are connected to the inlet and outlet pipelines, and covers. At that, holes in the sealed chamber housing connector and in the adapter must be equal and compatible for the outlet pipeline connection, and the gap between the test article and the walls of the sealed chamber must be sufficient for the free flow of the conducted medium.

EFFECT: development of bench for testing of control (throttle) pipeline valves of outboard design for determination of flow characteristics, which allows to reduce loads on tested item during tests, in conditions simulating operating conditions of item, thus allowing to test items with minimum weight and size characteristics, during design of which there is no excessive safety margin.
