HYDROSTATIC TEST
OF PIPING
GENERAL
All work on the piping should be completed before the testing commences.
Disposal of cleaning and test fluids shall be performed in a manner minimizing danger to
the environment.
TESTING PERSONNEL
Testing shall be carried out by experienced personnel, from the contractors or if required
from a sub-contractor.
A qualified experienced engineer shall be nominated as the Test Engineer. He shall be on Site
throughout all testing operations and shall be responsible for all testing and associated works.
The Test Engineer shall employee sufficient experienced personnel to enable all aspects of testing to be fully supervised.
The Test Engineer, in conjunction with the Safety Engineer and Environmental Engineer, is responsible for the safe planning and operation of the works and minimizing danger to the environment.

HYDROSTATIC TEST OF
PIPING
EQUIPMENT & INSTRUMENTATION
All test equipment (measurement devices) such as: dead weight testers, pressure gauges,
pressure and temperature recorders, thermometers and flow-meters used in testing shall be
calibrated and certified by an independent laboratory.
Other equipment such as water supply pumps, high pressure pumps, water treatment
system, piping, fittings and air compressor shall be designed and rated for the duty
intended, and shall be subject to COPI approval prior to use.
Test water sample by third party.
Pig for cleaning and dewatering

Communication Equipment
HYDROSTATIC TEST OF
PIPING
HYDROSTATIC TEST SPOOL FABRICATION
Piping system shall be tested based on their rating class for a minimum 2 continuous
hours.
The test pressure shall be minimum 1.25 times the MAOP (maximum allowable operating
pressure) and maximum of 95 % of SMYS of the weakest component.
The hydrostatic test will be considered acceptable if during the test all pressure
containing components of the system maintain their integrity and no leaks develop. A
pressure variation equal or smaller than 0.2 percent of the test pressure will be acceptable.

compressor, and hose of dryer at peaceful place, Install
barricade for area which is have danger potency.
Before water of discharge compressor used for the
draining of pipe, and compressor of dryer set and
have been running so that point dew ( mount dryness
of air), flow and pressure have been adapted for
specification.
Animating compressor and dryer for the warming
of up during 5 minute, depress knob of loading at
compressor, throw away air after dryer through
silencer ( to lessen noise) to atmosphere reached
by dew point (- 40deg C / 5deg.F) according to
specification.
Open Outlet dyer valve and conduct air to line

of pipe and draining process until air go out at
pipe end by bringing water pickings, oil, and
