CPD 7501 Critical Point Dryer Pressure Testing

Over 160 CPD 7501 units are in use today around the world. We know of no reported cases of structural failure. However, our CPD, in common with all similar instruments, includes a small pressure chamber and high pressures are generated inside the chamber during the drying process. The instrument is protected by a safety valve containing a thin diaphragm guaranteed to rupture at 1850 psi at 20oC. All chambers are pressure tested to 2500 psi before shipment to the customer. Each chamber bears the serial number of that test and is supplied with the test certificate.

In some countries local Pressure Vessel Regulations such as the UK Pressure Systems Safety Regulations 2000 require routine pressure testing and certification of pressure vessels such as the chamber in the CPD. If this service is required then it is recommended that the unit is returned to Quorum Technologies or other competent body for routine pressure testing and re-certification. Quorum Technologies offer a standard service that includes seal replacement, pressure testing, re-certification and carriage paid return. For pricing and further information please contact us or your local Polaron range distributor.
