Airmo’s TestMaster^® Hydrostatic Testing Tools come in many different models and are manufactured for specific pressure ratings, OD and ID dimensions, wall thicknesses, service mediums and gripping methods.

The patented tools provide fast, snap-on coupling, and positive sealing of tubes, tube assemblies, valves, cylinders, and systems. The hydraulic sealing mechanisms along with the safety pre-grip assures a constant, positive grip during any work or operation cycle without post-test marking.

Hydrostatic Testing Tools come in handheld and machine mounted models. The testing tools, depending on the model, can be used with a variety of services including gas, water, oil, or other liquids on request up to 40,000psi (2,758bar).

The main vitally important usage of these tools to aerospace manufacturers is to test hydraulic and pneumatic tubing and assemblies during the production or maintenance of an aircraft or space vehicle. Whether it’s a fuel line assembly, cooling lines, hydraulic tubing for control systems and actuators, or other high-pressure tubing assembles, Airmo’s TestMaster handheld hydrostatic testing tools make it very easy for production, or maintenance technicians to pressurise and test segments of an assembly with gas, or liquid service mediums as it is being constructed.

The virtually non-marring gripping technology of the TestMaster hydrostatic testing tools, assures safe pressurisation, without damaging the tubing. Several of Airmo’s customers have multiple handheld testing tools in a variety of tube diameters and service medium capabilities to pressure test different sized tubing used throughout the aircraft.

Airmo says that it hasn’t had a failure incident with any of its tools that caused an injury during the entire 75-year history of the company. There’s really no other safe way to do this in an aircraft production environment.
