Hydrotest procedure

Question

Hydrotest procedure

Accepted Answer

A hydrotest procedure is a method used to test the integrity and strength of a pressure vessel or pipeline by subjecting it to high-pressure water.

Hydrotest procedures involve filling the vessel or pipeline with water and pressurizing it to a specified level.
The pressure is held for a certain duration to check for any leaks or deformations.
The test pressure is typically higher than the operating pressure to ensure safety.
During the test, visual inspections, measurements, and monitoring of pressure and temperature are conducted.
After the test, the water is drained and the vessel or pipeline is inspected for any damages or failures.
