What Makes Us Different?

Easily add pressure to existing systems

Increase output pressure from a low-pressure supply without major investments or upgrades.

Increase energy savings for the entire system

Add pressure only where and when needed. Using low-pressure components with an intensifier cuts down on operating costs.

Fast lead times of 1 to 2 weeks

1-2 week lead times, so that you can work faster. For cases with higher urgency, faster delivery may be possible.


Pressure Intensifiers MP 2000 XP Hydraulic

To select a model, it is recommended to start with the most common series, the MP-T. The MP-T has a pressure rating of 20-800 bar/290-11,600 psi with a flow rate up to 15 LMP/4.0 gpm. The MP-T is mounted as an in-line pressure intensifier.

The primary differences between models involve the need for additional flow, specialized mounting, or unique application requirements.

how to choose flow chart for the reciprocating type pressure intensifier (mobile version)

Pressure Intensifiers MP 2000 XP Hydraulic

Pressure intensifiers are selected by choosing the intensification ratio (the multiplication factor from your input pressure to your required output pressure), flow rate, pressure, and mounting requirements for your applications.

1. Determine intensification ratio (psi)

Pressure intensifiers can provide standard intensification ratios of up to 16 and yield maximum outlet pressures of 58,000psi/4,000 bar. To determine the intensification ratio, first divide the desired outlet pressure by the inlet pressure.

2. Determine flow rate (gpm)

Next, determine the flow rate. Depending on the model, hydraulic intensifiers can have a flow rate starting at 0.3 gpm/1.1 lpm and up to 21 gpm/79.4 lpm.

3. Select mounting

Pressure intensifiers can be mounted in several configurations including in-line, flange-on, manifold, cartridge type, and CETOP mounting.

4. Determine how to plumb return line

Once the pressure intensification is reached, it is necessary to determine how the return flow will be plumbed. There are two versions. For plumbing around the intensifier, an S-Version is required. To allow the return flow from the component to pass through the intensifier, a P-Version is needed. The P-Version includes a POV valve integrated into the intensifier. In high flow applications, restricting the flow is necessary to prevent damage to the intensifier. This can be achieved by adding a flow control and a P.O. check valve to prevent excess flow.

5. Select intensifier

With the previous information gathered, an intensifier can be selected with a code.

No, pressure intensifiers are solely designed to intensify pressure.

Pressure intensifiers sacrifice flow for increased pressure and should not be used when needing simultaneously high flow and high-pressure outputs

Yes.

You can use water glycol with an intensifier, but the glycol concentration must be greater than 5%. For anything under 5%, a stainless-steel intensifier is required. Pressure intensifiers can be used with other fluids requiring special sealing. There are multiple sealing options, such as EPDM, Viton, etc. that can be selected for fluid combability.

Intensifiers are characterized by the desired pressure, inlet flow, and mounting style.

Selection is based on the maximum low pressure they can handle, along with any additional features specified by the application requirements. Follow our easy flow chart to see which intensifier you need. Help me choose an intensifier.

10 µm or better filtration.

Intensifiers have incredibly tight tolerances that they rely on for proper operation.

Yes.

Pressure intensifiers are available in stainless steel. Contact us to learn more.

No.

An intensifier is intended for applications that require pressure but not flow. If one is used in a pumping application, output flow will likely be unsatisfactory, and the intensifier will have a significantly reduced service life.

No.
An intensifier is an intensifiers and it is not a load-holding device. Despite containing built-in check valves, these are used for internal functions and are not designed to hold loads. If load-holding is required for your application, a separate load-holding device is needed.

Yes.

If the T-port is not connected, the intensifier will not function. The piston inside of the intensifier will not oscillate.

No.

Pressure intensifiers only work with fluids.

No.

Pressure intensifiers are not designed to hold loads despite having integrated check valves. If load-holding capabilities are needed, then appropriate valves such as load-holding valves should be used after the intensifier.

Yes.

However, a bypass circuit must be used so that the higher flows do not damage the intensifier. Click here for technical drawing of a high flow application. Click here for an example. Learn more here.

Yes.
