7. GENERAL DESCRIPTION:
Pressure Step and Inspection timing:
Step-1: Pressure should be gradually increased to 5 PSI for initial inspection and hold 10 minutes.
Step-2: at 5 psi maintain, then soapy check for all joints including flanges. using soap solution,
spray all flanges and related tubbing work and observe for bubbles. Bubbles are indicative of
leaking points
Step-3: De-pressurize up to 0.0 bar (end of Test).
If there is any leak from Flange joints, depressurize up to 0 bar (re-test back to 5 psi).
8. TEST PROCEDURE DETAIL:
Nitrogen cylinder to be used and testing team shall be placed outside evacuation zone
8-1. Circuit Monitoring and Checking:
- For tubbing leak testing of circuits, access to the area of the test shall be limited to only the
personnel directly involved in the test or personnel involved in the inspection and monitoring.
- Soft Barricade (Red and White) shall be installed and a watchmen should ensure that no
personnel enter the area.

a. Any package unit previously tested by the vendor in accordance with the applicable codes.
b. Lines and systems which are open to the atmosphere such as drain, vents, open discharge of
relief valve, and atmospheric sewers.
no leakage is found and no unaccounted pressure drop noticed during the agreed time interval .

Equipment for testing should be have as following:

- Flexible hose
