WORK PROCEDURE
Pneumatic (Air) Test : Piping shall be tested with air pressure at 120% of the
design pressure
Service Test : Piping shall be tested at operating pressure using the appropriate
medium for normal operation.
Visual Test : Visually checked by Inspector, this is Not pressurizing for System
Except as specifically detailed in the project drawings, all piping within the scope of this Procedure
shall be hydrostatically tested.
Page 36 of 47
FABRICATION AND ERECTION CS/SS PIPE
WORK PROCEDURE
All pressure testing shall be witnessed and approved by Contractor representative at pre
designated testing time. Piping shall be thoroughly flushed before the introduction of the
test water. Precautions shall be taken, by opening vents or by other means to prevent
buildup of excessive pressure in items under test. Particular care shall be applied to plastic
and GRP.
Test pressure readings shall be taken at a low point and high point in the system. Minimum
2 Test Pressure Gauge are installed in test System. The static head shall be subtracted
from the maximum hydro test pressure to give the required reading.
Page 37 of 47
FABRICATION AND ERECTION CS/SS PIPE
WORK PROCEDURE
Immediately after pressure testing, all piping shall be thoroughly drained of water.
Particular care shall be given to the draining of austenitic stainless-steel piping to ensure
that no pockets of water are allowed to remain. Where for any reason it would not be
possible to completely drain piping.
Piping that is repaired or modified after a pressure test shall be re-tested unless in the case
of minor repairs or additions and agreement is obtained from Contractor to waive this
requirement. However:
• Retesting of the system is not required if a repaired flanged spool is individually
hydro tested or radiographed. Closing flanges shall be inspected for leaks
during commissioning.
• Where repaired sections require closing welds, these shall either be retested or
subjected to 100% radiography.
Where an equipment item has been blanked off at a flanged joint to allow pressure testing
of connecting piping, it shall not be necessary to pressure test the joint after the blank is
removed. Such joints shall be visually examined to ensure that gaskets are properly
Page 38 of 47
FABRICATION AND ERECTION CS/SS PIPE
WORK PROCEDURE
installed, bolts tightened etc. Flanged joints that are broken for pressure test purposes shall
have a new gasket installed after pressure testing is completed prior to commissioning.
8.2.1.4.1 Test phase, the test procedure consists of initial expansion, and test
phases. For initial expansion phase, the test section is pressurized to test
pressure and monitor within 4 hours and reduce test pressure by 10 psi (0.7
bar) if no drop and monitoring pressure for 1 hour. Do not increase or add
make-up water.
But if during test pressure indicate pressure drop but no leakage the
pressure can reduce base on piping design compare to the pipe
temperature.
8.2.1.4.2 Pass/Fail Phase, if no visible leakage is observed and pressure during the
test phase remains steady (within 5% of the test phase pressure (for the 1-
hour test period, a passing test is indicated.
8.2.1.4.3 Retesting, if retesting is necessary. Depressurize the test section by
reducing pressure or releasing test liquid at a controlled rate. Sudden

WORK PROCEDURE
depressurization can cause water hammer. And correct faults of fix leaks
while the test section is under pressure.
8.2.1.4.4 When maximum test pressure is between design pressure and 1.5 x system
design pressure. Allow the test section “relax” for at least eight (8) hours
before re-pressurization.
Page 40 of 47
FABRICATION AND ERECTION CS/SS PIPE
WORK PROCEDURE
Only authorized test personnel should be allowed within the designated test area.
Where the source of pressure is higher than the test pressure, precautions against over-
pressurization shall be taken through the use of reducing valves, pressure gauges and
safety valves of adequate size. A pressure relief device shall be provided, having a set
pressure not higher than the test pressure plus the lesser of 345 kPa (50 psi) or 10% of
the test pressure.
Page 41 of 47
FABRICATION AND ERECTION CS/SS PIPE
WORK PROCEDURE
All pneumatic tests shall include a preliminary check at a pressure not exceeding 1.4
barg (20 psig). This pressure shall be held until all joints have been inspected for leaks
by brushing each joint with soap solutions.
i. Self-regulated controllers
j. Diffuser, Transmitter
l. Positive displacement meters
3) In case piping is connected to equipment nozzle by welding and where equipment is not
hydro tested, the piping shall be pressure tested before connection, and after welding of
the
piping and equipment nozzle, the final welded joint shall be 100% radiographic instead
of pressure test.
4) Instrument take-off piping shall be tested up to the first block valve with the piping or
equipment to which it is connected.
9 SAFETY PRECAUTIOS
1) Prior to work activity, ensure that all permits are signed & validated by authorized person.
2) Use only inspected and proper tools & equipment for every work
3) Barricade crane lifting radius and area under welding point
4) Gas checking continuously around welding point area
5) Wear full body harness when working at height
6) Implemented lifting plan signed by Contractor authorized person.
7) If any unsafe condition, stop the work & directly contact superior & safety person
8) During Emergency, personnel have to proceed to the nearest Muster Point
10 HOUSE KEEPING
Each group have responsibility to maintain working area clean from waste and scrap after working
time before leaving working area, if not possible to bring down pipe place after work, do not leave
pipe place on the scaffold platform without tied up and /or secured.
