For fast, reliable BOP, hose, manifold valve system, and riser line hydrostatic testing, Clover Tool offers a variety of BOP hydrostatic test unit models. These all electric, stainless steel test units are excellent for drilling rigs because they are small footprint, explosion proof, and easy to customize, maintain and operate. The manufacturer claims that over 150 hydrostatic test units are operating in BOP test applications worldwide with no failures over the past 12 years.
The Clover dual Model CTU-20P-D2-4 offers triple hydrostatic test capabilities up to 30,000 psi. During critical operations, one side can be used as an immediate back up. When operating in tandem as a single station, it can cut BOP fill/test time in half, according to Clover. Operating independently, integral twin recorders allow separate tests simultaneously at different psi. For less critical operations Clover offers its more economical 15,000 psi single test unit Model CTU-15P-S1.
