Safety Instructions
!WARNING
Danfoss fitting tolerances are engineered to match Danfoss hose
tolerances. The use of Danfoss fittings on hose supplied by other
manufacturers and/or the use of Danfoss hose with fittings supplied
by other manufacturers may result in the production of unreliable and
unsafe hose assemblies and is neither recommended nor authorized by
Danfoss:
Failure to follow Danfoss process and product instructions and
limitations could lead to premature hose assembly failures resulting in
property damage, serious injury or death.
The user must exercise extreme care when operating any Danfoss
assembly equipment with powered moving components. Safety
glasses must be worn at all times when using any Danfoss assembly
equipment.
Read and understand the owners and operators manual before
attempting to operate any equipment.
Danfoss hereby disclaims any obligation or liability (including incidental
and consequential damages) arising from breach of contract, warranty,
or tort (under negligence or strict liability, theories) should Danfoss
hose, fittings or assembly equipment be used with the hose, fittings or
assembly equipment supplied by another manufacturer or in the event
that product instructions for each specified hose assembly are not
followed.
!CAUTION
All hoses must be dried after testing! Tested hose assemblies can be
dried by blowing out with dry shop air. Any water remaining in the
tested hose assembly following proof test operation may cause rust on
the inside of fittings or may not be compatible with the system using
the hose assembly.

The Danfoss FT1312 Proof Test Stand is a self-contained, easy to use
machine for hydrostatic testing of Danfoss hose assemblies. It is de-
signed to test using tap water as the test medium. Air pressure drives
the pump which pressurizes the water in hose lines to desired test
pressures.
The power unit on the FT1312 Hose Proof Stand operates on the simple
principle of a pressure magnification through differential areas in which
an air operated piston drives a smaller piston providing fluid flow at
high pressure. An air regulator provides the means of adjusting hydro-
static test pressure.
SPECIFICATIONS
Dimensions 79” wide x 36” deep x 53” high
Weight 550 lbs.
Test Fluid Tap Water
Air Requirements 70-100 psi clean dry shop air
Test Pressure 20,000 psi maximum
Tooling Standard Industrial Adapters
The tester should be installed on a solid floor capable of holding 750 pounds. An area 9.5 feet by 6 feet should be allocated for the machine and
working area.
Remove the clear plastic air lubricator bowl (adjacent to the air pressure regulator on the pump assembly) and fill it three quarters full with SAE 30
nondetergent oil.
Connect a tap water supply line to the 1/2” pipe port of the water shutoff valve located on the water pumping unit.
Connect a compressed air supply line to the male air coupling attached to the air pressure regulator on the water pumping unit.
NOTE: For optimum performance, the air compressor should be capable of supplying 100 psi at a rate of 20 cubic feet per minute.
Pressure side of pump so pump can prime itself. Running the pump dry will damage the hydraulic piston and cylinder.
Screw down the pressure regulator slowly until pump starts (pump should start flow at 10 - 15 psi air. Increase air pressure to 40 - 45 psi and allow
pump to run, purging the air from the system.
CAUTION: Where the pump will be connected to a source of air greater than 150 psi, a pop-off type safety valve set to relieve pressure at 150 psi
maximum is required in the air line to protect the pump.

Operating Instructions
PREFILLING
1. Close the air shut-off valve. Adjust the air regulator to zero pressure by turning the valve handle on top of the regulator in a counterclockwise
direction until no turning resistance is felt.
2. Open the cabinet of the tester and place the hose assembly to be tested on the aluminum rack of the tester.
3. Connect the umbilical hose assembly to the hose assembly to be tested using the appropriate adapter combination. Umbilical hose has a -8
JIC swivel fitting on its terminal end.
4. Ensure that the high pressure dump valve is completely closed.
5. Open the water shut-off valve and fill the assembly a/lowing the tap water to force the air from the hose assembly through the non-capped
end.
6. When the sample is completely filled, shut off the water and cap or plug the open end of the hose assembly.
PRESSURIZING
1. Close the cabinet and latch both clasps securely. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO PRESSURE TEST THE HOSE ASSEMBLY WITH THE CABINET DOOR OPEN
OR WITH THE LATCHES NOT SECURE.
2. Reopen the water shut-off valve to supply ample water to the pumping unit during pressurization.
3. Open the air shut-off valve.
4. While monitoring the test pressure gauge, adjust the air regulator valve clockwise allowing the pumping action to begin. Steadily increase
air pressure until the test pressure is approaching, then back off the air pressure until the pumping slows greatly. When the test pressure is
reached, back off the air pressure just enough to stop the pumping action.
5. The test assembly should remain pressurized at the proof test pressure for one minute. During this time the assembly should be observed
through the transparent Lexan lid. Pinhole leaks or seeping fittings may not be immediately apparent, so careful observation is important.
6. Once the test pressure has been obtained, tighten the locknut on the regulator. Subsequent assemblies can be pressurized to the test pres-
sure by merely opening the air shut-off valve on the pump. The air regulator will only require readjusting when a new test pressure is required.
TEST PRESSURE RELEASE
1. Close the air shut-off valve on the water pump.
2. Close the water shut-off valve located on the water pump.
3. Open the high pressure dump valve to release the water pressure in the test sample.
REMOVING THE ASSEMBLY
1. WAIT UNTIL ALL PRESSURE IS REMOVED FROM THE SAMPLE! This will be indicated by zero pressure indicated on the pressure gauge and no
water draining from the pressure discharge port in the tester.
2. Open the cabinet and remove the umbilical hose and test tooling from the tested assembly.
3. Drain the remaining water from the tested assembly. It is recommended that all hose assemblies be blown dry with compressed air.

Maintenance
Troubleshooting
Normal maintenance requires periodic refilling of the lubricator on the water pump and cleaning the see-through lid with clean, soapy water. Do
not use petroleum or chemical solvents on the see-through lid. Use only mild detergent.
PROBLEM SOLUTION
Test pressure not attainable during operation 1. Check all connections of tooling and and hose assemblies for leaks.
2. Check high pressure dump valve is closed.
3. Bleed air from test sample.
Power unit not functioning when air regulator adjusted. 1. Supply air not connected or air shut-off valve not open.

FT1312 Hose Proof Test Stand
The FT1312 hose proof test stand is designed for easy and economical
hydrostatic testing of hydraulic hose assemblies.
Proof testing at twice the recommended working pressure is an easy
nondestructive way to test hose assembly reliability before it leaves
the shop.
Practical and self-contained, the FT1312 machine has an air driven pow-
er unit that can develop a maximum of 22,000 psi hydraulic pressure
using 100psi clean, dry shop air. The power unit (FT1312-2-5) can be
ordered separately.
Two types of tooling are available for proof testing with the FT1312
machine. Standard Danfoss adapters may be used with any Danfoss
hose assembly. Special proof test adapters with O-Ring seals are
available for internal skive crimp hose assemblies. Proof test adapters
must be ordered separately
FEATURES
• Designed to use tap water, eliminating the need for a special test
fluid.
• Compact power unit is air driven.
• Tests assemblies up to 2 inches inside diameter, 6-spiral wire.
• Cabinet construction withstands hose assembly failures and func-
tions as a reservoir.
• Air regulator and gauge provide easy pressure adjustment and
monitoring.
• Tough transparent Lexan lid resists impact resulting from assembly
failure.
POWER UNIT
The power unit of the FT1312 tester is a compact, economical air driven
hydraulic pump. It will provide sufficient hydraulic pressure to proof test
any Danfoss hose assembly.
The pump operates on a simple principle of pressure magnification
through use of differential areas in which a relatively large air operated
piston drives a smaller piston to provide fluid flow at high pressures.
