Flange Penetrator Pressure Test Fixture. Statement of Government Interest

Abstract

An apparatus as a fixture for fluidly pressure testing a flange penetrator seal with the apparatus having a flange cover including a recess and a flange extension including a recess with the extension matable to the cover such that the recesses create a volume around the seal. The extension is secured to the flange of a device for which the flange penetrator seal supports. The cover has a pressure fitting for application of fluid pressure to the recess of the cover for pressure testing the seal within the volume and the extension having a fitting for draining the volume after testing is complete.
