Hydrostatic testing, or hydro testing, is a process used to test the strength and integrity of pressure-containing equipment like pipes, vessels, and hoses. The component is filled with water, which is then pressurized to a level significantly higher than its normal operating pressure. This test verifies that the equipment is free from leaks and can safely withstand its designated pressure.
It is a critical safety measure. The primary purpose of hydro testing is to identify any potential defects, leaks, or structural weaknesses before the equipment is put into service. This prevents dangerous failures, ensures the safety of personnel and facilities, and confirms that the equipment complies with industry codes and regulations.
As a leading hydrotest company, we are equipped to test a wide range of components. This includes the hydrostatic testing of pipes and pipelines, pressure vessels, storage tanks, air receivers, compressors, skids, manifolds, and various types of industrial hoses (e.g., oil suction and water hoses).
Upon successful completion of a test, we issue a formal hydrostatic testing certification. This document serves as an official record that the component passed the test at a specific pressure and is compliant with relevant safety standards. This certification is crucial for quality assurance, regulatory compliance, and audit trails.
The test pressure is not arbitrary; it is typically determined by international codes and standards (like ASME). Generally, it is calculated as a multiple of the component's maximum allowable working pressure (MAWP), often 1.3 to 1.5 times the design pressure.
A failure during a controlled hydro test is a positive outcome from a safety perspective. It means a potential point of failure has been identified in a safe, controlled environment rather than during live operation. The component would then be repaired and re-tested, or replaced.
