PROCEDURE FOR HYDRO TEST

1.0 SCOPE:

This procedure describes the method and technique of Hydro Test for Pressure
Vessels and Heat Exchangers after completion of fabrication.

2.0 APPLICABLE CODE:

• ASME Sec VIII Div. 1,

• ASME Sec VIII Div. 2,
• PD 5500,
• Approved Drawing & Datasheet

3.0 SYSTEM:

A. QA and QC Engineer shall ensure stages before pressure test as mentioned

in applicable QAP and ITP are completed and the records are available
and accepted

B. Blanking of nozzles and opening is done with proper hardware, plugs,

fittings, and gaskets.

C. The blanks and the fasteners shall be compatible with the original material
specification used for the construction.

D. Fill water in the equipment.

• The water filled shall be stored in the equipment for a sufficient time,
so as to stabilize the temperature of the water and the metal.
• Ensure that the air pockets are totally eliminated, before applying
pressure.

E. Ensure that the equipment is examined to see that it is tight and all other
filling lines and appurtenances are removed/ disconnected.

F. Completed dry the spilled water and make the total external surface dry.

G. Record the metal temperature at the time of Hydrostatic test. This

Temperature shall be at least 17º C above the MDMT but not more than
40º C.

PROCEDURE FOR HYDRO TEST

H. Connect the pressure test pump to bottom nozzle.

I. Fix at least two pressure gauges, one at the highest point and other at the
water inlet nozzle. The applied test pressure shall be measured at the
highest point of the equipment. The range of Pressure gauges selected
shall be 1 ½ to 4 times the Test Pressure.

J. Ensure only calibrated pressure gauges are used.

K. Pressurize the equipment up to design pressure as mentioned in approved

drawing.

L. Check for any leakages on weld joins, base metal, flange joints etc.

M. Identify/ witness, if any and dry the wet areas by using compressed air.

N. Raise the pressure to hydrostatic test pressure mentioned in approved

drawing. Once the test pressure is retained for a sufficient period, then the
test pressure can be reduced Design pressure, so as to carry out inspection
of all joints and connections

O. QA and QC Engineer shall carry out the inspection and record the results
in Pressure Test Report. Any leakage or any pressure drop from the joint,
or metal is not accepted.

P. Hold the pressure for sufficient time to accommodate through inspection

minimum one Hour

Q. If specified in QAP and ITP, QA and QC Engineer shall offer the hydro
test to, customer or inspection agency and prepare Pressure Test Report.

R. After acceptance by, inspection agency, customer, remove the hydro test
pump connection, open out the vent value and drain the water. Ensure
vacuum is not created in the equipment.

S. After the pressure test the pressure gauge shall be subjected to verification
of calibration.

PROCEDURE FOR HYDRO TEST

T. After water is drained out, use compressed air for about ½ hour so as to
remove the moisture from the equipment and dry the equipment and
record in report.
U. Get the Pressure test report endorsed by the witnessing and accepting
authorities.

4.0 RESPONSIBILITIES:

A. Production Manager - To conduct hydro test.

B. QA and QC Engineer - To witness the hydro test.
- To prepare the Pressure Test report & also
draining & drying report after hydro test.

- To offer hydro test as per TPI/QAP to

customer or Inspection agency as specified.
