Hydraulic beam lifting and Hydraulic Pinning allow you to quickly and easily change from one pipe size to the next.

The Pipe Certa-Fire requires just two large hydraulic cylinders.

Cam followers accurately guide the moveable beams as you adjust the Pipe Certa–Fire for the next test.

Bell–end pipe present a special challenge. We’ve made it easy with adjustable top and bottom beams. You can shift the beams to the correct positions to insure the specified loading is achieved.

Optional - PLC control allows exact ramp-up pressure and force providing the most accurate testing in the industry.

To make the first bend, the Welded Wire Reinforcing mat is placed in position for bending. The bending arm is raised and over-bends the sheet to form a resting bend of 90-degrees.

To accomplish the second bend, simply move the mesh mat forward (There is no need to raise the mandrel) on the unobstructed bending deck, to the second position. The same method for bending is repeated with the exception that the bend is from the opposite bending arm. After the arm is retracted, the cage will have a “U” configuration.

The cage is extracted from the bender by simply raising the mandrel to the full 90-degree position. The arm will completely clear the bending deck for easy removal of the cage.
