TTS reduces hydraulic installation times

The patent pending TTS IFS-70 is claimed to shorten installation times because of effective and accurate flushing and pressure testing. The portable, ‘plug and play’ unit offers three fully automatic functions: auto flush, pressure test and hydraulic operation.

The stainless steel unit features a compact design for easy handling. All programmes are fully auto¬matic, with the operator able to view status updates and when each run is completed. Data are automatically logged and can be exported to a USB memory stick. A remote connection provides support when needed.

The efficiency of the flushing can be proven through log files showing date, pipe dimensions, inspection result and cleanliness of the system after flushing. The unit is equipped with filter technology proven to a 99.9% efficiency grade.

Tobias Ahlberg, sales manager at TTS Marine, said: “If pipes are flushed and tested correctly, the hydraulics are reliable throughout their lifetime and maintenance cost will be minimised. TTS IFS-70 ensures turbulent flow during flushing, where both pipe and oil are cleaned, instead of laminar flow where only the oil is cleaned. This way the result is always reliable for both the shipyard and the end user.”
