HydraPro hydraulic and water flow/pressure test kits

Our range of HydraPro test kits

Three types of HydraPro test kit are available:

  • The HydraPro hydraulic gauge block is for retro fitting to current flow meters. The gauge block adds system temperature and pressure line a machined aluminium block which can be installed inline.
  • The HydraPro hydraulic test kit is a complete test kit for hydraulic applications. Available in 3/4” and 1" versions the test kit can measure system flow rates, operating pressures and temperature. It comes complete with a restrictor valve for stopping the flow within a hydraulic system. The test kit comes complete with a carry case for mobile operation. Flow rates available are from full scale rates of 5 LPM to 190 LPM, pressure ratings up to 345 bar.
  • The HydraPro water flow pressure test kit allows the user to measure the flow rate and pressure in low pressure water systems. It has an inclusive restrictor valve to allow the user to stop the flow and then measure in-line system pressure. This test kit is available in 1/2", 3/4" and 1" versions with different flow rate and pressure options available.

Portable, inline diagnostic kit for commissioning, fault‑finding and preventative maintenance on hydraulic circuits. Typical kits include a flow element, pressure gauge and load (needle) valve so you can simulate system load, observe flow vs. pressure and verify pump output on machines, power packs and service rigs. PCT typically sizes these for ¾″ or 1″ BSP connections and will ask for your min/max flow, pressure and temperature so the kit is built to suit.

Practical range notes: requests above ~190LPM and larger than 1″ fall outside the standard HydraPro envelope; when that occurs, we advise alternatives at the quoting stage.

HydraPro Hydraulic Gauge Block

A compact flow/pressure readout block for quick checks where you don’t need the full test kit. It’s commonly supplied in 1″, with other line sizes achieved via adapters where appropriate. If you also need to apply load during a test, choose the “TKV” build (this includes the load valve); a gauge block on its own does not provide loading capability.

HydraPro Water Flow & Pressure Test Kit

A portable, water‑service kit for checking flow and pressure on plumbing, HVAC and process‑water lines—ideal for pump verification, commissioning and troubleshooting. As with hydraulic kits, we’ll size the instrument to your connection (often ¾″ or 1″ BSP) and the flow/pressure you need to validate.

If your duty or pipe size exceeds standard HydraPro limits, we’ll propose alternative assemblies so you can still measure safely at the required range.

Features & benefits

  • True field diagnostics in one box – Flow indication, pressure gauge and (on valved kits) a load/needle valve to characterise flow vs. pressure and prove pump health without dismantling the system. (Hydraulic Test Kit / TKV builds)
  • Sized to your system – We ask for min/max flow, inlet pressure, operating temperature and connection (¾″ or 1″ BSP) so the kit matches your application and avoids choking or oversizing. (All kits)
  • Fast checks where space is tight – The Hydraulic Gauge Block gives quick, local readout and can be adapted to non standard threads when needed. (Gauge Block)
  • Built for UK service environments – Focused ranges and connection options that suit mobile machinery, plant maintenance and site commissioning; when duties exceed the HydraPro window (e.g., >1″ or >~190 LPM), we source broader range test instruments to keep your job on schedule.
  • Spares support – Common parts (e.g., pressure relief discs, P/N P2470) are supported through PCT for field maintenance. (Hydraulic Test Kit)

Common FAQs (Test Kits & Gauge Blocks)

We’ll ask for min/max flow, inlet pressure, operating temperature and preferred connection (commonly ¾″ or 1″ BSP). Provide the application media as well.
Yes - select a kit or gauge block with the TKV load valve. A gauge block on its own does not allow you to apply test load.
HydraPro selection is centred around ¾″ and 1″ BSP. Larger than 1″ typically requires an alternative platform; we’ll recommend the right instrument if you’re outside the HydraPro window.
For HydraPro hydraulic kits, PCT treats about 190 LPM as the practical ceiling. Above this, we propose Flo tech/Hedland style testers with the required range and pressure rating.
The gauge block is supplied in 1″; other sizes are handled using thread adapters if appropriate.
Yes — PCT can supply spares such as pressure relief discs (P/N P2470) and assist with repairs on supported models.
At very low flows we may recommend a flow + needle valve only (without integrated pressure/temperature) to maintain accuracy; otherwise we can include pressure and temperature where the flow range allows.
Share your company details and the five key specs—flow, pressure, temperature, connection size, and fluid. We’ll configure and quote the correct kit.
That’s beyond standard HydraPro scope; we’ll move you to a Flo tech test instrument with the correct port size, flow range and pressure class.
