Neofit Testing

Stand alone Neofit® barrier tested for 48 hours @ 200 psi with no leaks

Stand alone Neofit® barrier burst test as per ASTM D1599 for pressure testing of structural piping. The stand alone Neofit® barrier burst @ 460 psi (See Video).

Neofit® barrier installed in PEX tubing with 3/8 inch holes in the PEX every 8-12 inches. The fittings used were compression style with the Neofit® barrier having a flange at each end. This would represent an extreme leaking water service installation. The Neofit® protected pipe was pressurized to 150 psi and held for 48 hours with no leaks (See Video).

Tensile test of 10mm Neofit barrier expanded to 3/4" pipe size. Results show a 2" section was stretched to 4" without any tearing or damage to the material.

Stretched and stressed 10mm Neofit barrier from previous tensile test was capable of holding up to 105 PSI before bursting, as per ASTM D1599.
