Method Statement Pressure Hose
Obje ctive
The objective of this method statement is to provide general guidelines for performing
hydro test for pressure hoses at customer’s premises.
Scope
Reference Procedure
Master Equipment
Hydrotest Pump.
Test
Check the pressure hose physical condition and make sure it is free from
defects.
Note the hose details like make, model, serial no., location, ID No., etc.
on the relevant worksheet.

Prepare the hydro test pump and its setup to perform the test.
Connect the pressure hose to the hydro test pump system.
Determine the working pressure of the hose from its manufacturer’s
specification.
Pressurize the hose by using the hydraulic pump upto 1.5 times of its
working pressure.
Use the calibrated pressure gauge and monitor the pressure value.
Upon the pressure gauge reading reaches its target pressure (1.5 times
of working pressure), stope pressurizing the pressure hose.
Observe for any sign of leakage in the system.
Monitor the constantly for any dropping of pressure for at least 5
minutes.
If no leak is observed, release the pressure in the system and prepare for
tagging and certification.
