FAQs

What does a Hydrostatic Test Test for?

A hydrostatic pressure test is used to establish the pressure-containing capabilities of a pipe during pipeline commissioning. It is also used to check for leaks and determine the overall integrity and strength of pipelines during re-commissioning.

How is a Hydrostatic Test Performed?
  • In hydrostatic pressure testing, the pipeline is pressurized by a hydrostatic test pump, and the hydrostatic tester/operator measures the pressure to ensure that it remains stable. The pressure is maintained for a predetermined amount of time, and then the pressure is slowly released and the pipeline is visually inspected for any signs of leakage or damage. 
How Often is Hydrostatic Testing Done?

Pipeline hydrostatic testing is done on a periodic basis, depending on the type of equipment and the applicable regulations. Generally, hydrostatic tests are done every three to five years, but it can be done more or less often depending on the specific application and/or regulations. If you are located in the greater Pittsburgh area and looking for hydrostatic testing near you, contact Hydrotech Testing today for all of our pipeline testing needs.

What is the Difference Between a Leak Test and a Hydrostatic Test?

A leak test is a test performed to detect any leaks in a system, while the hydrostatic test procedure is performed to determine the strength and integrity of a system by subjecting it to a controlled pressure.
