End Caps (Special R&D and Production)

🔹 Product Overview

PME Turkey’s custom-engineered End Caps are precision-built components designed for hydrostatic pressure testing of plastic and composite pipes. These caps — including our 1600 mm diameter models manufactured for El Nour Company (Egypt) — combine strength, adaptability, and long-term reliability, meeting the highest international testing standards.

They are constructed using stainless steel (304 / 316L) or galvanized steel, ensuring durability under high-pressure testing conditions. The adjustable gasket design provides perfect sealing for various pipe diameters, making them suitable for PE, PP, PERT, and PEX pipes from 800 mm to 2600 mm.

• Adaptive Seal Production: Silicone/rubber seals compatible with 304–316L stainless standards.

• Pipe Range: 800–2600 mm diameter compatibility.

🔹 Detailed Description

The PME Turkey End Cap system represents a new generation of pipe sealing technology developed through in-house R&D. Unlike conventional pressure caps that require hammering or external pressing, this design incorporates a screw-driven clamping system, ensuring a uniform, reliable seal every time.

Each unit features a special multi-lip gasket that adjusts automatically to pipe irregularities, maintaining full airtight sealing even under fluctuating pressure. Thanks to its hydraulic compatibility and easy-mount configuration, operators can assemble and dismantle the caps quickly and safely.

All sealing components are made using high-resistance silicone and rubber compounds, suitable for extreme conditions. These end caps are specifically optimized for hydrostatic endurance testing, conforming to TS EN ISO 1167 and ASTM D1598–D1599 standards — making them a trusted solution in laboratories and production testing facilities worldwide.
