What is Hydrostatic Testing?

Hydrostatic testing, or hydro testing, is a fundamental process to assess the integrity and strength of pressure vessels, pipelines, and various equipment in the oil and gas industry. By subjecting the equipment to water or a suitable test medium under controlled pressure, we evaluate its ability to withstand the designated operating pressures and detect potential leaks or weaknesses.

Is it the Same as Pressure Testing?

Hydrostatic testing is a form of pressure testing that involves explicitly using a liquid, usually water, to apply pressure to the equipment being tested. While hydrostatic testing is a subset of pressure testing, it is distinguished by its reliance on liquid mediums. Other pressure testing methods, such as pneumatic testing, utilize gases instead.

Hydrostatic Test Failure

If a hydrostatic test fails, it indicates the presence of equipment defects, leaks, or weaknesses that could compromise its integrity and safety. In such cases, our experienced team promptly identifies the root cause of the failure and works closely with you to develop appropriate solutions. We provide comprehensive reports detailing the test results, the reasons for the loss, and recommended actions to rectify the issues.

Procedure for Hydrostatic Testing

At Savage Group, LLC, we don't just follow a procedure; we deliver a comprehensive service designed to ensure the safety and longevity of your equipment. Here's what our meticulous hydrostatic testing procedure brings to your operations.

Preparations

We begin with a thorough inspection to verify the readiness of your equipment for testing. Ensuring proper connections, support, and safety measures minimizes risks, saves time, and sets the stage for accurate results.

Test Medium Selection

We carefully select the most suitable test medium, typically water, based on your equipment and specific requirements. This ensures the testing process is as relevant and effective as possible, protecting your assets from potential damage.

Pressurization

We gradually pressurize the equipment to a predetermined level, usually at or above operating pressure. Our team uses calibrated equipment to monitor and control the pressure closely, ensuring precision in testing and reducing the chances of false positives or missed issues.

Pressure Maintenance

Once we reach the target pressure, we maintain it for a set duration. This attention to detail allows us to detect even the slightest pressure drops, leaks, or other signs of equipment failure, ensuring you're not left with undetected vulnerabilities.

Visual Inspection

Our visual inspections during and after the test allow us to identify any visible issues, like leaks, material defects, or faulty welds. This comprehensive evaluation ensures a thorough assessment of your equipment's condition and allows you to rectify any issues before they escalate.
