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.

🔹 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.
