1 PURPOSE

1.1 The purpose of this procedure is to detail the requirements of hydraulically testing Fluid Jet
Equipment (Eductors) and to insure safety of all personnel at all times during the hydro-test.

2 REQUIREMENTS

2.1 Fresh water shall be the standard fluid for hydraulic testing. Other liquids may be used as
agreed with the purchaser. (To avoid the risk of freezing it is recommended that the
temperature of the water during test should not be less than 15°C and not have chloride content
above 30ppm).

2.2 Ensure that eductors all stage wise inspections, welding inspection, visual & dimensional
inspection, hardness testing and NDE are completed and accepted, reviewed/endorsed and ITP
is signed off prior to release of equipment for hydro testing.

2.3 Unless permitted by the user or his designated agents, pressure retaining welds or parts shall
not be painted or otherwise coated either internally or externally prior to the pressure test.

2.4 Units shall be tested using the service gaskets to permit the unit to leave the manufacturer in
the “as tested” conditions. For assemblies comprising more than one pressure item, if necessary
e.g. where there is special painting or coating, individual components shall also be tested
separately before the finishing process.

2.5 Blanking devices shall be designed to withstand the test pressure specified.

2.6 Ensure pressure gauges are mounted at eductor flange connection.

2.7 Calibrated pressure gauges as per CP213 shall be used ensuring that the required pressure lies
in the middle third of the gauge scale.

2.7.1 All test gauges shall comply with Northvale Korting Company Procedure CP213, but
following a time interval between calibration and recalibration of one year. However, the last
calibration date of the gauge shall not be more than six months from that time of testing.

2.8 Ensure two eductors are assembled together for test by joining suction side flanges and
eductors are kept vertical.

3 REFERENCES

3.1 Compliance with the following ExxonMobil project specifications, codes & standards shall be
made: GA drawing (IQWQ-CE1091-VDLAY-D7-9000), ITP (IQWQ-CE1091-VPITP-D7-
9001), Specification- Additional requirements for materials (IQWQ-FT-RSPDS-00-181001)
& ASME Sec VIII Div.1:2015

4 PROCEDURE

4.1 Applying pressure as per Test pressure stated in GA drawing.

Document Rev: C

4.1.1 Unless otherwise agreed the pressure shall be gradually increased to a value of 50% of the test
pressure specified on the relevant drawing.

4.1.2 The pressure shall then be increased in stages of approx 10% of the specified test pressure,
until this is reached and then the test item must be isolated from the pressure source.

4.1.3 The specified test pressure shall be held for at least 30 minutes per cm of thickness or till
completion of visual inspection of the vessel, whichever is later. During the test period the unit
should exhibit no signs of leakage.

4.1.4 After a test period of not less than 30 minutes, the pressure shall be reduced to 95% of the
specified test pressure. The unit may then be approached for close inspection.

4.2 Inspection.

4.2.1 If no leakage or loss of pressure is observed during the test period, the pressure is to be
carefully released and the test fluid drained off and allowed to dry.

4.2.2 If any leakage is found, the area is to be marked to aid location for future corrective action
prior to releasing the pressure and draining off.

4.2.3 If the leaks are deemed to be “REPAIRABLE” the repair work is subject to approval by QC1
and/or Technical Department using appropriate repair procedures.

4.2.4 After repair work has taken place, then procedures 3.1 to 3.2.1 are to be repeated.

4.2.5 If the leaks are deemed to be “IRREPAIRABLE” then the unit is to be rejected and the
Production Department is to be informed.

NB: I M P O R T A N T N O T E:

Weld repairs may require a written concession from the purchaser. If in doubt refer to
Production Department.

5 ACCEPTANCE STANDARD

5.1 The unit is said to have “passed” the hydraulic test after withstanding the specified pressure for
at least 30 minutes, during which time the unit should exhibit no signs of leakage.

5.2 A record is kept of all relevant unit and test data and a test certificate is issued if required by
the contract along with gauge calibration certificates.
