Hydrostatic Testing

Simply put, Hydrostatic Testing involves filling a hose assembly with water and taking it to a pre-specified test pressure, generally 1.5 times the maximum working pressure and holding it for a set period of time. Whilst under pressure the hose is monitored and inspected to ensure that the pressure is held and its integrity is maintained. Contact a member of our team today to find out more, and to see how hydrostatic testing can help to streamline your operation.

What is Hydrostatic Testing Used for?

Hydrostatic pressure testing is a crucial procedure for verifying the integrity of various components, including boilers, gas cylinders, piping systems, and other pressure vessels. This testing process becomes especially significant after a component has experienced failure or repair. By conducting a hydrostatic test, you can effectively identify potential leaks and guarantee that the system is prepared for safe operation.

For more field hydrostatic hose pressure testing information, please contact us. We will provide professional answers.

• Our custom built test rigs, equipped with sensitive computer-aided monitoring, enable us to apply precise test pressures for extended periods and track any pressure loss.
• Even the tiniest leaks, invisible to the naked eye, can be detected during testing.
• We are careful to avoid over-pressurizing, which could compromise the integrity of the hose.
• We provide a comprehensive selection of hose testing and inspection services, ensuring that your system operates reliably.

Testing Compliance

It is essential to have confidence in your equipment and ensure that your components will not fail when needed. Equipment failures can lead to substantial losses in productivity and output. To ensure comprehensive testing, our hydrostatic testing services guarantee the following:

All of our test rigs can be utilized with demineralised water, thereby meeting the hose testing standards set by ISO, the international standard for metallic hose assemblies. Our facilities can accommodate tests up to 30,000 psi ( Bar). Testing is conducted in rubber-lined troughs, elevated from the floor, with clear acrylic lids that meet safety regulations while allowing for visual inspection under pressure.

Hydrostatic Testing FAQs

Hydrostatic testing is typically performed to ensure the integrity of pressure vessels following repair, adjustment, or manufacturing. This process is applicable to storage tanks, gas cylinders, compressed air cylinders, fire extinguishers, Self Contained Breathing Apparatus (SCBA), and chemical pipelines.

Defective high-pressure cylinders can lead to catastrophic incidents. Even a minor fault or rupture can trigger an explosive reaction under high pressure. Therefore, it is imperative to avoid faults to maintain safety and efficiency. Regular hydrostatic testing of cylinders allows for the collection of data, helping to assess the cylinder’s condition and predict when it needs replacement.

Hydrostatic pressure testing is generally required when a component is repaired or replaced. It may also be necessary to validate the integrity of newly manufactured items. This form of testing effectively identifies any faults or leaks prior to the component becoming operational.
