1. SCOPE
This Project Standard and Specification specifies pressure and leak test procedure and
acceptance criteria of Steel piping works to perform minimum quality level.

2. REFERENCE

Throughout this Standard the following dated and undated standards/codes are referred to.
These referenced documents shall, to the extent specified herein, form a part of this standard.
For dated references, the edition cited applies. The applicability of changes in dated references
that occur after the cited date shall be mutually agreed upon by the Company and the
Contractor. For undated references, the latest edition of the referenced documents (including
any supplements and amendments) applies.

3. TESTING APPARATUS

Test pump, hose and fittings connections, test medium, a calibrated pressure gauge to
monitoring test pressure, pressure recorder may be used to record variable of test pressure,
torch flash for visual inspection of leakage. The pressure gauges and recorder shall be calibrated
within 12 months, range of pressure gauge shall not be less than 1.5 times and not more than 4
times.

4. SAFETYPRECAUTIONS

Display suitable warnings on the equipment and in the testing areas.

To confirm bolting materials are corrected and met specifications.
Test pump shall constantly attend by experience operator during testing.

7. PREPARATION
1. All examinations and stress relieving activities have to complete before testing.
2. All raised face of flanges and thread end shall be inspected in good condition and make sure
no damaged or deformation.
3. All connections by bolting, threading shall be tightened and sealed by its nut.
4. One pressure gauge shall install at a higher point, other pressure gauge(s) shall install at
nearly location for monitoring and control by operator.
5. Barricade must be limited at the testing area with display signboard with “KEEP AWAY
HYDROTEST IN PROGRESS”.
6. Hydrostatic tests will perform by operator under supervision of Supervisor and QC inspector.
7. The test pressure shall not less than 1.5 times of the design pressure.
8. A minimum holding time of test pressure shall at latest 10 minutes.
9. Temperature measurement of test medium may be recorded during the test.
10. The QC inspector shall monitor the testing process and verify that there is no leakage or may
be visual distortion during or upon completion of test.
11. Upon completion of the test, test medium shall be drained and unbolt flange joint.

12. All raised face of flange and thread ends shall be properly protected in good condition.
13. All internal pipe spools shall clean and flush with pressurized water, then drying out by dried
air
8. ACCEPTANCE CRITERIA

1. Pressure tests are successful if no leaks, no cracks and no deformations found.

2. If leakage found on products or product welds, their location shall be recorded/marked in
drawing and forward the report to QC Engineer for investigation before re-testing.
3. If leakage found on flanged joints, threaded joints shall rectify before re-starting test.
