What is hydrostatic testing
(Pressure testing)
A hydrostatic test is a way in which pressure vessels such as air receivers, boilers etc. can be tested for strength and leaks.
​
LEAK DETECTION:
The test involves filling the vessel or pipe system with a liquid, usually water, which may be dyed to aid in visual leak detection, and pressurization of the vessel to the specified test pressure. The location of a leak can be visually identified more easily if the water contains a colorant. Pressure tightness can be tested by shutting off the supply valve and observing whether there is a pressure loss.
​​
STRENGTH
Strength is usually tested by measuring permanent deformation of the container.
Hydrostatic testing is the most common method employed for testing pipes and pressure vessels.
​
WHY?
Hydrostatic testing helps maintain safety standards and durability of a vessel over time. Testing of pressure vessels is very important because such containers can explode if they fail under pressure.
​
WHEN?
Statuary Inspections takes place on a 36-month interval. (For pressure vessels Cat II and higher).
