Hydrostatic Testing

Hydrostatic Testing Procedure

Objective:
To verify the integrity and strength of the pipeline by pressurizing it with water to a
predefined test pressure.

Scope:
All pressure-retaining pipework requiring certification under ASME B31.3 or equivalent
codes.

Equipment Required:
- Calibrated pressure gauges
- Water source and fill pump
- Air vents, drains, and end caps
- Chart recorder or data logger

Procedure:
1. Complete line cleaning, flushing, and inspection.
2. Fill the pipe with clean water, ensuring all air is vented.
3. Gradually increase pressure to 1.5 times design pressure.
4. Hold test pressure for the duration specified (typically 2 hours).
5. Monitor for pressure drops, visible leaks, or deformation.
6. Record start and end times, pressures, and observations.

Acceptance Criteria:
- No leakage observed.
- No pressure drop beyond allowable limits.
- Pipework remains structurally stable.
