They work when it matters: Steam test units by REINEKE
Steam test units by REINEKE are the first choice whenever it is a question of safely checking and safeguarding water-steam circuits that work under enormous pressure. Electronic pressure monitoring systems – as they are also called – are used in coal-fired power stations, in waste incineration plants, in gas and steam power plants or other plants in which piping systems, steam boilers or pressure vessels have to be safeguarded against excess pressure. If these valves have to perform not only shut-off tasks but at the same time control tasks, Reineke pneumatic or hydraulic actuators are the first choice. REINEKE plans, designs and manufactures everything from a single source, and always offers you solutions that are tailored exactly to the requirements of the operating company or plant manufacturer. Our steam test units comply with SIL classification up to level 3. To obtain this classification, the component is certified by an independent third party. A low risk of failure in accordance with IEC61508 (SIL= Safety Integrity Level) is thus guaranteed. If necessary, the experienced engineers at REINEKE can also develop customised solution for higher or very special requirements. To do this, simply get in touch with us.
Note on SIL classification: The standards IEC 61508 and IEC 61511 define four different safety levels, also known as SIL (Safety Integrity Level). They describe the actions to control the risks of these components. The SIL level for the respective steam test unit is calculated by the engineers at REINEKE up to level 2, and from level 3 on by another, independent party. Insurance companies and authorities require a SIL classification for plants that have to meet safety-related requirements in order to prove that the residual risk of the plant is sufficiently reduced.
In steam test units by REINEKE, only high quality pressure transmitters are used. They offer the following advantages compared to conventional switches:
- very high measuring accuracy
- very low drift, i.e. measuring deviation
All steam test units are certified according to a current component reference. All the requirements of the "old" standard TRD 421, DIN EN ISO4126, AD sheet A2 (Technical Rules for Steam Boiler Equipment Safety devices against excess pressure - safety valves - for steam boilers of Groups I, III and IV) and the safety concept in accordance with IEC 61508 are of course fully satisfied.
On request, we can calculate for you the entire SIL loop (steam test unit + actuator + valves).
DESYsmart & TESYsmart: Intelligent Monitoring for Water-Steam Systems
With DESYsmart and TESYsmart, REINEKE offers intelligent control and monitoring systems for safety-relevant pressure and temperature values in water-steam systems. These in-house developments enable continuous condition monitoring, early fault detection and automatic safety responses in the event of a malfunction. Thanks to modern touch operation, integrated self-diagnostics and optional online connectivity, operators benefit from greater safety, increased system availability and maximum transparency across all relevant process data.

- Steam test unit + hydraulic actuator with external supply station (valves enclosed)
- Steam test unit + compact hydraulic actuator + valves
- Steam test unit + compact hydraulic actuator (valves enclosed)
We accompany the project from planning through to commissioning.
Precisely tailored to your requirements
All components required for the construction of the steam test unit bear the label "Made in Germany" and are subjected to strict quality control before installation. You will not receive a product "off the shelf", but a high-quality component, tailored precisely to your requirements. If you attach importance to the use of products of certain manufacturers in the construction, we can also take this into account.
REINEKE offers you not only indoor (indoor installation) but also outdoor solutions (outdoor installation) for complete systems. This also applies to special requirements – for example, when operating in regions with high or low outside temperatures or in onshore operation, where the harsh maritime climate demands a high level of quality from the material.
Special functions include turbine-load-dependent rapid opening functions as well as fully redundant systems with automatic switchover.
We will be happy to provide you with detailed information with design examples, measuring tables and technical descriptions.
