Hydro test requirements

Question

Accepted Answer

Hydro testing is a process of verifying the integrity of a piping system by pressurizing it with water.

Hydro testing is done to ensure that the piping system can withstand the required pressure.
The test pressure is usually 1.5 times the design pressure of the system.
During the test, the system is filled with water and pressurized for a specified duration.
The system is visually inspected for leaks or deformations during the test.
After the test, the water is drained and the system is dried to prevent corrosion.
Hydro testing is a critical step in ensuring the safety and reliability of a piping system.
