HYDROSTATIC TEST AND INSPECTION RECORD FOR COMPOSITE CARGO HOSES

AA) Inspection procedure:

1. Lay out the hose straight on level supports that allow free movement of the hose when test pressure is applied.
2. Conduct an electrical continuity test.
3. Seal the hose by bolting blanking-off plates to both ends, one plate to be fitted with a connection to the water pump and the other to be fitted with
a hand operated valve to release air through a vent.
4. Connect the test pump at one end and apply a pressure of 0.7 bar. Measure and record the overall length of the hose assembly between the measuring
points.
5. Slowly increase the pressure up to 1.5 times the maximum working pressure (MWP). Hold this pressure for ten minutes.
6. Re-measure the length of the hose over the same surface as before.
7. Ascertain the temporary elongation and record the increase as a percentage of the original length.
8. Slowly lower the pressure to 0.7 bar and stabilize.
9. Re-measure the length of the hose over the same surface as before.
10. Reduce the pressure to zero and drain the hose assembly. Re-test for electrical continuity.

DD) Inspection criteria

1. Cargo hoses shall be hydrostatically tested 1.5 times maximum working pressure (MWP) every 12 months.
2. During the pressure test, a hose shall be removed from service if noticing any of the following;
a. Signs of leakage or significant distortion.
b. Temporary elongation noticed during test, in excess of 1.5 times the temporary elongation when the hose assembly was new or upon exceeding
maker’s recommendation for maximum allowable elongation.
c. For electrically continuous hoses, resistance measured flange to flange, equal to or exceeding 100 ohms.
