Conduit calibration equipment
1 | Low air pressure tests
The new pressure test device combines three test methods in one electronic device. “General test rules” individual selectable acc. requirements from the customer. The requirement from Deutsche Telekom acc. “ZTV-TKNETZ 40”. The low-pressure test acc. EN 1610:2015 as well as worksheet DWA-A-139:2009
The low-pressure test is exclusively performed for leakage test of cable ducts with small wall-thickness. Those are being used for pulling of various cable types. The target is to proof the tightness against intrusion of groundwater, sand, sediments, etc. Those elements soils the protective ducts and complicate the pulling of cables.
With regards to the test methods those refers to the existing requirement of acceptance of waste water drain and ducts. For the testing of protective ducts the version “air” will be used only. Customers request low-pressure test of protective ducts against DIN EN 1610:2015 and acc. procedure “air” in the version LC or LD.

- According which test method is determined by the customer “General test rules”.
- Version LC, test pressure 0,1 bar (100 mbar, 10 kPa), duration 3 min, permitted pressure drop 15 mbar (1,5 kPa)
- Version LD, test pressure 0,2 bar (200 mbar, 20 kPa), duration 1,5 min, permitted pressure drop 15 mbar (1,5 kPa)
2 | High and low air pressure testing devices
The DPG 17U Universal pressure test device for test of cable ducts with regards to protective ducts and subducts working in the range of 0…7 bar. The operation is made by a 7” colour-graphic-touch display. The new device support the user through a simple and menu-driven operation. With the help of a matrix (table) three different test methods can be selected. Those are “General test rules” individual selectable acc. requirements from the customer, the requirement from Deutsche Telekom acc. “ZTV-TKNETZ 40” and the low-pressure test acc. “EN 1610:2015”. This results in a maximum support for the user.
The result of the pressure test is summarized in a clear test protocol with three core areas. The test protocol will be stored on the device and can be loaded by a USB-interface to a customary PC.
Discover the new functions with the Union Connect app! You can now transfer your created PDF reports directly to your mobile phone or tablet via Bluetooth. In addition, the app enables remote control of the DPG 17U via Remote Control and the inclusion of GPS data in the log. These additional features are now available free of charge for 2 years when you purchase a new device or take advantage of services such as calibration or repair at Vetter. After the 2 years have expired, you can continue to use the functions by renewing them for a fee. Please note that the app is currently only available and released on Android devices. Stay connected and informed with the Union Connect app!

3 | Pressed air connectors
Low-pressure connection unit for pressure test of 1 cable duct for power- and fibre cable installation.
The low-pressure test is exclusively performed for leakage test of cable ducts with small wall-thickness. Those are being used for pulling of various cable types. Thereby the DN 110 is the most frequently used protective duct. The range of avail-able connection accessories is from duct-ID 70 until 200 mm.

4 | Shut-off bladder Mini
Shut-off bladders to lock off the pipeline to be tested. Shut-off bladders are used on the opposite side of the test location. The short dimensions of the Mini version allow space-saving installation of pipe bends also.
5 | Test bladder Mini
Test bladders Mini for testing and shutting off pipes for low pressure testing.
Air coupling (brass) standard for bladder extension. Air coupling (chromed) special CE-standard 10.4 mm, for inflating the duct.
6 | Foot pump with double stroke
