    This document outlines pressure testing procedures for new sprinkler piping. It assigns responsibilities for the testing process and discusses safety precautions that must be followed. The procedures describe conducting a hydraulic test that involves pressurizing the piping to 200 PSI in increments over 4 hours to check for leaks, while following specified safety measures such as barricading the work area and wearing PPE. If no leaks are detected, the testing is considered complete and the new pipeline is ready for use.

    Method of Statement for Pressure Testing Procedures

    Purpose
    This procedure outlines the necessary actions and safety practises for pressure testing all
    new sprinkler piping Wafer Test 2B- Level 2

    Responsibility
    Plumbing Work Foreman, Pipe Fitters, Construction Co-ordinator, Project Engineer, Site
    Supervisor, Project Manager & Safety Officer

    Discussion
    In order to ensure the integrity of the new pipeline in and around the area, the contractor
    will perform a pressure testing. The pressure testing procedures adopted the
    recommended standards and practises. The procedures also outline proper safety practises
    that must be followed in order to minimize risks.

    Requirements
    Tools and Equipment
    All personnel within test area shall be required to wear eye and hearing Personnel
    Protection Equipment (PPE). Hard Hat, safety shoe and dust mask.
    Quick Couplings, Hydraulic Pressure Portable Pump set, Pressure Gauge and Non-return
    Check Valve.

    Ensuring Safety of Work Site


    Hydraulic testing can be dangerous and should be performed with caution and careful
    attention to all safety procedures. To ensure the safety of all workers, the following safety
    precaution must be completed prior to conducting the pressure testing:
    1. Notify system owner or personnel of the area to be avoided due to risks during
    pressure testing.
    2. Ensure that no high pressure testing occur in the work place.
    3. Ensure personnel conducting the test stand behind a barrier during pressurization.
    4. Mark-off and barricade the work area.
    Results: After following the above procedures, the necessary steps to ensure safety will be
    complete.

    Conducting the Pressure Test


    To conduct a pressure test of new pipelines at Clean Room Level 3-Support A, complete the
    following steps:
    HYDRAULIC TEST
    1. Identify the maximum test pressure to be used (200 PSI), which is enough for the
    system as the maximum pressure of the system range around 175 PSI.
    2. Identify the steel pipe to be tested.
    3. When possible, identify the maximum area tested.
    4. Examine all connections prior to the test to ensure proper tightness.
    5. Determine the pressure rating for all connected fittings and devices to ensure they
    are rated for the maximum test pressure.
    6. Place a Blind Flange / Plug or other suitable cover on all openings at pipelines that
    are not closed off by valves.
    7. Plug all test, drain and vent ports that are not required for the test.
    8. If the section of pipe being tested is isolated from other sections by in-line valves,
    ensure the portion not being tested is open to the atmosphere.
    9. Apply a preliminary test pressure of 25 psi by using a portable Hydraulic Pressure
    Portable Pump set, or as directed by the Project Engineer.
    NOTE: this pressure should be held for a minimum of 10 minutes to allow for the
    location of any major leaks. If leaks are detected during this step, or at any time
    during the test, relieve the pressure and consult the Project Engineer for instruction.
    10. Apply the test pressure in increments of 25 psi until the maximum test pressure is
    reached (200 PSI). While filling pressure at the pipeline, release the air lock at the
    end drain valve. Slowly flushed the pipe and released the air bubble until the water
    has a clear flow. Closed the Drain Valve and built up the pressure until 200 PSI. Hold
    pressure for 5 minutes at each 25 psi increment before adding more pressure.
    11. Hold the maximum test pressure for 4 Hours.
    12. Obtain confirmation of a successful test by the System Owner/ Caverion Personnel
    after 4 hours time period.
    13. Remove the pressure, with caution to avoid escaping air stream, debris and high
    decibel noise level.
    14. Complete the appropriate following forms Pressure/Leak Testing Sheet and
    recorded the test data and place them in the appropriate engineering files as
    specified by the Project Engineer.
    Results After completing these steps, pressure testing is completed. Once the test is
    successfully completed, then the new pipeline is ready for connection.
