4.0 HYDROSTATIC TEST

4.1 Hydrostatic testing shall be performed on all items as table 1.
4.2 Test pressure formula is defined as
P = 2St/D

Where P = test pressure (Mpa)

S = 85% of the specified minimum yield strength for X65 (Mpa)
* Minimum yield strength for X65 : 450 Mpa
t = nominal wall thickness of pipe bends (mm)
D = outside diameter of pipe bends (mm)

5.0 TEST PROCEDURE

The hydrostatic test of pipe bends shall be performed on all pipe bends and the
result should be reported on hydrostatic test record.
5.1 Preliminary requirements prior to applying of pressure
1) Checking of the material identification marking
The inspector shall check and verify the identification marking on items.
2) Supports such as scaffold shall be proper type to ensure safe inspection.
In order to be able to inspect all the welded joints, no supports shall be
placed on or over any welded joints of the items.
3) Cleaning of surface and exposure of joints
a. surface to be inspected during the test shall be clean.
No residual paints, liquid enetrant, oil, grease or condensation shall
acceptable.
b. All mechanical or welded joints shall be accessible and exposed for
inspection during the test.
c. The external surface of the items to be tested shall be thoroughly dried
before test.

5.2 Test Gauges

1) The gauges shall be calibrated against a standard deadweight tester or a
calibrated master gauge at least every 12 months if at any time there is
reason to believe that they are in error.
2) Dial indicating pressure gauge used in testing shall be graduated over a
range of about double the intended minimum test pressure, but in no
case shall the range be less than 1-1/2 nor more than 4 times of the test
pressure.
3) Two(2) dial-indicating pressure gauges shall be used in testing items. One
is connected directly to the highest location of the item for correct
indication of the test pressure. The other one is connected where it will be
visible to the operator throughout the duration of the test.

5.3 Fluid Medium and Temperature

1) Clean water will be used as test fluid unless otherwise specified.
2) The metal temperature shall not exceed 120℉(48.9℃) during the close
test, it shall be at least 30℉(-1.1℃) above the minimum design metal
temperature to minimize the risk of brittle fracture during hydrostatic
testing.

5.4 Filling the items with Water

1) Vents shall be provided at all high points of the items in the position in
which it is to be tested to purge possible air pockets while the item is
being filled.
2) The items shall be filled with water.
3) Before applying pressure, the inspector shall check the test equipment to
assure that it is tight and other appurtenances that should not be
subjected to the test pressure have been disconnected or isolated by
valves or other suitable means.

5.5 Application of Pressure

1) For the safety of operator and other personnel, necessary all the means
shall be provided and test area shall be marked.
2) The pressure in the items shall be increased gradually until the required
test pressure has been reached.
3) After the test pressure as required by this procedure have been
maintained for the holding time specified.

5.6 Inspection
1) Inspection for leakage shall be made on the whole body of the items,
especially on weld seams and all areas of high stress concentration.
2) Any leaks or other defects found during the inspection shall be reported
in Nonconformity Report.

5.7 Empting the Items

After successful completion of the hydrostatic test, vents and drains shall be
opened to remove all the water in the items.

6.0 ACCEPTANCE CRITERIA

6.1 The pressure test is satisfactory, if the pressure is borne by the enclosure
without any leakage.
6.2 If any item shows leaks during the hydrostatic test, it shall be rejected.

7.0 DOCUMENT CONTROL

All test results shall be documented on the “Pressure Test Record” exhibit 1 by
inspector.
