Webtool hydrostatic test pump at Subsea Expo 2025

16 January, 2025

The company says the portable hand-operated pump is self-contained and capable of providing up to 1000 Bar working pressure. The Webtool stand will also feature examples of the many Webtool cutters for ROV, diver, subsea installation, topside and deck applications, along with the Webtool portable emergency hydraulic system.

Hydrostatic testing is a vital element in verifying hydraulic systems or pressure vessels such as pipelines, cylinders, boilers, and fuel tanks. The Webtool Hydrostatic Test Pump (HTP) is designed to offer a safe and controlled method for applying and monitoring pressure during testing. This minimises the risk of leaks or damage, compared to other methods, such as pneumatic testing. The Webtool HTP is supplied complete with tank, skid, handle and gauge. Hoses are also available at customer request.

Cable cutting - Impaq Technologies battery HPU

Impaq Technologies has recently been stress testing their soon-to-market battery powered HPU with Webtool large cable cutters. Combining their technology with Webtool cutters essentially electrifies the range and offers a workable solution for operating Webtool cutters without onboard Hydraulics. The Impaq battery powered HPU is ideal for newer electrical eROVs and smaller, mid-range ROVs. Videos of their tests will be on display throughout the day.

Webtool – Interlock Cutting Technology

Also featured on stand 41 will be examples of the many Webtool cutting tools including the industry renowned RCV75HD wire rope cutter featuring patented interlock technology.

The Webtool integrated interlock ensures that the blade cannot activate until the anvil is fully deployed, making it safer in low visibility environments. Once the cable or umbilical is positioned in the jaw and the anvil closed, the guillotine blade is activated. Unlike other cutting methods where there is a risk of the item flexing during cutting and either trapping or snapping the blade, closing the guillotine’s anvil locks the rope or cable in position ensuring the cut is completed successfully, typically within a couple of minutes.

Portable Hydraulic Control System

The Webtool portable emergency hydraulic system, used in conjunction with a webtool cutter, provides a quick and decisive means of responding should a vessel get into difficulties during towing. The lightweight hydraulic control is a self-contained unit including an accumulator, control valves and hoses for connection to a Webtool cutter.

All Webtool cutters are designed and manufactured exclusively by Allspeeds in the UK.
