minute then released until 50% of the test pressure with a pressure drop rate of
1 barg / min, then held for 15 minutes.
11) Reduce the pressure again to 0% at a pressure drop rate of 2 barg / min.
12) Before the water in the pipe is discharged, the vent must be opened and left
open until the water is completely removed from the pipe.

beginning of hold period to completion of hold period) shall be calculated from
the Hydrostatic Test calculation. After the completion of hold period, pressure
variation due to temperature fluctuation shall be accounted for and corrected.
The pressure test is acceptable, if the final recorded pressure after making
necessary correction due to temperature fluctuation is equal or more than the
test pressure. Accepted minimum pressure after correction is calculated as
follows.
Accepted minimum pressure after correction
P accept = (P - ∆P)
Where:
P = Test pressure
∆P = Pressure changes due to correction of change in temperature fluctuation.
Where:
∆P : Pressure change due to correction of change in temperature fluctuation.
B : Difference between thermal expansion of water and steel at Temp &
Pressure as measured

t1 : Nominal Wall Thickness of pipe
∆T : Algebraic difference between water temp. At beginning and at the end of
the test (C)

If final recorded pressure is less than the acceptable minimum pressure after
correction
P accept, the hold period shall be extended minimum 60 minutes until the
pressure reach or above P accept, Maximum extended holding period is 2
hours.
After obtaining written acceptance of test from Contractor preparation shall be
made for de-pressurization of the section.
On successful completion and acceptance of the hydrostatic test the pipeline
shall be slowly depressurized at a moderate and constant rate.
2) If any leakage is observed during pressurization or hold period, line shall be
depressurized for further remedial work.

5.11. Dewatering

3) Upon successful completion of the hydrostatic test & depressurization, provide


suitable drains for safe disposal of hydrostatic test water at the receiving test
header end.
4) Dewatering pig shall be propelled from the test header into the line to dewater
the section with the air compressor.
5) The water coming out of the receiving test header will be drained to the river
as applicable.
6) The line shall be considered dewatered when a negligible amount of water is
flushed out by the last pig.

5.12. Swabbing
The swabbing operation is intended to reduce the remaining water in the pipe for
dry conditions using a medium density foam pig. A swabbing operation must be
carried out to ensure that no water remains in the pipe.
Foam pig must be run continuously until the last foam pig does not carry water to
pass through the pig receiver. This process will continue until very little water
remains in the pipe and can be removed by drying activity. Swabbing operations
must be repeated until the results obtained are acceptable and must undergo
COMPANY approval.
The swabbing criterion is the weight of the foam pig that comes out ≤1.1 times the
weight of the pig before insertion.

5.13. Water Disposal

be neutralized to a minimum of 4 ppm by mixing hydrogen peroxide or other
neutralizing agent recommended by manufacturer prior to discharge area
unless otherwise directed by Company.
2) Subcontractor shall provide adequate storage tanks to meet manufacture's
recommended retention times for neutralization to occur without interfering
with de watering procedure.
3) Any untreated clean fresh water may be directly discharged into discharge area
or nearest canal without passing through holding tanks unless iron content or
suspended solids levels exceed 24 ppm (see attachment Schematic
Hydrostatic Testing).
4) Subcontractor shall provide all temporary piping for dewatering and
neutralization processes.
5) Subcontractor shall ensure that all temporary discharge piping is adequately
anchored and secure.
