Super-Large Autoclaves
Up to Φ10,000 mm diameter and 40,000 mm length – including complete on-site fabrication and commissioning.
Overview
YRPR super-large autoclaves serve programmes whose components exceed transportable dimensions – large aerostructures, space hardware and major industrial laminate tooling. Working diameters reach 10,000 mm with lengths up to 40 m.
Where road transport is not practical, our engineering team executes the complete project at the customer site: design, plate procurement, shell fabrication, hydrostatic testing, internal installation (insulation, air-guide devices, coolers and heaters), door and valve assemblies, electrical and control systems, and integrated commissioning. One recent reference: a 5,200 mm × 10,000 mm autoclave fabricated, installed and accepted entirely at the customer’s site – see the manufacturing page for the full process.
Key Features
- Diameters up to 10 m and lengths up to 40 m
- Pressures up to 10 MPa for demanding cure specifications
- Complete on-site fabrication and commissioning capability
- Redundant PLC and 2-duty-2-standby vacuum pumping options
- Configured to AMS2750 and major airframer process standards
- Full pressure-vessel documentation and acceptance testing
