    PRESSURE TEST SYSTEM HYDROSTATIC TEST


    01.1

    01.2

    A Piping system shall be hydrostatic tested as a


    unit unless the difference among their design
    pressures exceeds 15% of the lowest design
    pressure of the system components. The test
    pressure in the system shall be equal to the test
    pressure
    applied to the system component of
    which, the design pressure is the
    lowest
    among the system. Generally vessels, exchangers
    and like
    equipment are shop tested and it is
    excluded from the piping hydrostatic test.
    TEST
    PREPARATIONS
    :
    The
    following
    components shall be completely isolate from the
    system and this is to prevent severe mechanical
    damages.

    01.02.01

    Rotating equipment such as pumps, compressors


    and turbines.

    01.02.02

    Safety valves, rapture discs, flame arrestor, steam


    traps etc.

    01.02.03

    Pressure vessels , Storage Tank.

    01.02.04

    Equipment and piping lined with refractoriness.

    01.02.08

    Instrument such as control valves, pressure


    gauges
    (other than Hydro testing system),
    level gauges and flow meters.

    01.02.09

    Pipe line, that is not allowing the hydrostatic test,


    according to the process requirements.
    EXCLUSIONS

    01.3
    01.03.01

    Any package unit previously tested by the


    manufacturer in accordance with the applicable
    codes.

    01.03.02

    Plumbing systems, which are tested in accordance


    with the applicable plumbing code.

    01.03.03

    Lines and systems, which are open to the


    atmosphere such as drains, vents, item discharge
    of relief valve and atmospheric sewers open.

    01.03.04

    Instrument impulse lines between the block valve


    at the process or utility line and the connected
    instrument.

    01.03.04

    In the branch reinforcing pads, leak testing and


    pneumatic testing shall be applied where specified
    by contractor. The sub contractor shall test all
    field installed reinforcing pads with clean dry air at
    0.36 bar (5psi). All welds surfaces on the out side
    shall be swabbed with a leak testing solution.
    After testing is complete, the vent hole shall be
    plugged with grease or with contractors approved
    plastic plugs. The sub contractor shall submit the
    record of all reinforcing test with test packages
    document. This shall be part of test package from
    where ever applicable.

    01.04 Any vents or by passes down stream of the instrument


    is first block valves shall be gauged or the
    instrument shall be disconnected during the test
    to ensure full protection of that instrument.
    01.05 The test shall be hydrostatic using water except if there
    is a possibility of damage due to freezing or if the
    operating fluid or piping material would be
    adversely by effected by water. Any other suitable
    liquid shall be used with owners approval.

    02.00

    TEST WATER CRITERIA


    02.01 Care shall be taken to ensure the use of clean water for
    hydrostatic test. The sea water is prohibited to
    being used.

    02.02 Water shall be used as general test fluid. In special case
    as per line list air can be used as a test medium.
    These cases generally relate to large bore pipe.
    02.03 Clean water, with a chloride content of less than or
    equal to 250pm shall be used to hydrostatic test
    whilst water with a chloride content of less than or
    equal to 30ppm shall be used for circuit or
    individual lines of stainless steel before starting of
    hydrostatic test water certificate will be submitted
    to S. D. consequently, every months, supplied
    water sample will be sent to approved laboratory
    to confirm the chloride content, whenever
    required by the client.
    02.04 The minimum water temperature during the hydrostatic
    testing shall be ambient temperature.
    03.00

    APPLICATION OR PRESSURE
    03.01 NCC shall put the circuit or line to be tested under
    pressure by venting, in case of a hydrostatic test.
    Any air, which may still be present in the circuit by
    using
    vent valves if provide or by partly
    disconnecting connections in the top part of the
    circuit if there are vent valves.
    03.02 It must be remembered that, the test pressure shall only
    be reached by the pressure gauge in the lowest
    part of the circuit. Pressurising of system shall be
    done in increment of 25% or as designed by the
    employer at the time of testing.
