SET UP

1. Open up the Test Valve Tool Kit.

2. Install appropriate pressure gauge,
ensure that the maximum range of
pressure gauge is at least 2 times
of pressure to be tested/reached.
3. Check and ensure “air regulator,
hydro release, nitrogen block and
hydro block” are at close position,
otherwise close it.
4. Install valve being test at the
appropriate flange, ensure all
connection are tight and secure.
5. Connect flange hose to the
“outlet” of the Test Valve Tool
Kit.
6. Connect nitrogen hose to the
“nitrogen inlet” of Test Valve
Tool Kit.

AIR PRESSURE / NITROGEN TEST 1. Check set pressure requirement of

valve being test.
2. Check and ensure “air regulator,
hydro release, nitrogen block and
hydro block” are at close position,
otherwise close it.
3. By adjusting its regulator, set
Regulator nitrogen output pressure, same as
pressure gauge upper range.
4. Slowly open “nitrogen block”.
5. Closely monitor the “pressure
gauge” reading.
6. Once the valve is lifting / open,
observed value displayed at the
pressure gauge and record into
worksheet as lift value.
7. Immediately close the “nitrogen

block”, wait until the pressure is

stable and record the value into
worksheet as close value.

8. If pressure being injected is

reaching 110% value of set
pressure, but valve still does not
lift, lower down the pressure and
valve is considered as “FAILED
(STUCK)” record into worksheet.
9. If the lifting value is tally with set
pressure and the close value is 3%
-5% lower than set pressure, valve
is determined as GOOD,
otherwise FAILED and need to be
repaired.
10. Decrease the pressure to 90 % of
set pressure and check for any
leakage. You may use bubbles to
check any leaks.
11. If no leaks found valve is
determined as GOOD, otherwise
FAILED and need to be repaired.
12. After repair is done, repeat step 1
to 11 until get the GOOD result.
13. After testing completed, return all
tools and stuff to its designed
place and perform 5R activity.
