- Pipe to tank connections will be done by Thread connections and suitable gaskets, rest of opennings on
the filter tank will be closed by blind flanges or plugs.

7.3 PREPARATION OF HYDROSTATIC TEST

- Prior to hydrostatic testing, it shall be confirmed that all specified nondestructive examinations of welds
and inspection have been completed with applicable codes and standards. It shall be inspected that clips’
and supports’ internal and external welding is completed as per latest approved drawing prior to
commencement of hydrostatic test. During Hydrotest, accessibility for all the joints will be provided for
inspector.

- Prior to test, QC Inspector shall check the equipment and device which will be used as follows:

• The capacity of hydrostatic pump and range of pressure gauges,

• The calibration label attached to the pressure test gauges to assure that the pressure test gauges have
been calibrated at least once in every six (6) months and within the calibration due date or if any
time there is reason to believe that they are in error.
• The dial indication pressure gage(s) to be used in testing, they should preferably have the dial(s)
graduated over a range of about double the intended maximum pressure. But the range shall not be
less than 1.5 nor more than 4 (four) times the test pressure.
• The valves and pipe for connection with gauges and the pump.

- Two pressure gauge shall be installed at the top of the tank and two pressure gauge shall be installed at the
bottom of tank.

- Hydrostatic test continuous recording time and pressure graph shall be provided throughout the testing
cycle.

- Before test water is filled to the Filter tank, all openings (manholes, nozzles, and fittings) shall be closed
and sealed very well by blind flanges and plugs. The Filter tank shall be kept open for air venting until the
tank is filled completely with water.

- Hydrostatic tests shall be carried out using the type of gaskets which be used in service.

- Test fluid-water with a chloride content of greater than 250 ppm shall not be used for hydrostatic test as
specified.

- The metal temperature during a hydrostatic test shall be maintained at least 17°C (30°F) above the
minimum design metal temperature of the vessel, but need not exceed 50°C (120°F), to minimize the risk
of brittle fracture.

8. APPLICATION

8.1 FILLING WATER

- Valve venting will be left open at the high point of the Filter tank, where it will be possible to purge the
air while the tank is being filled.

- Fill sphere full with wáter

8.2 PRESSURE APPLICATION

- The test pressure shall not be applied until the vessel and the test fluid are at about the same temperature..

- Hydrostatic pressure shall be gradually increased until the test pressure is reached. When the test pressure
is reached, the valve on the pump is to be shut off.

- The pressure shall then be reduced to a value not less than the test pressure divided by 1.43 before examining
for leakage.

- Any leaks that are present, except for that leakage that may ocur at temporary test closures for those openings
intended for welded connections, shall be corrected and the vessel shall be retested.

- Repairs will be carried on according to ‘’Assigned WPSs’’. After repair, shall be retested by Magnetic or
Liquid Penetrant Test according to related Codes & Specs.

- After completion of the hydrostatic test, vents and drains shall be opened to remove all water from the Filter
tank. And the emptying rate shall be so adjusted to avoid any vacuum.

- Hydrostatic test shall be carried out in presence of Owner/ and Contractor.

- After complete draining of the test water, final readings of the foundation settlements shall be made.

9. INSPECTION

- PT FLEKSINDO, QC inspector shall be responsible for inspection of all attributes defined in this section.
- Joints have been properly prepared in accordance with this method statement.
- PT FLEKSINDO QC Inspector shall also review the information of the Hydrostatic test graphs, holding
times and settlement readings. If the all information is correct, he shall sign and date the Hydrostatic Test
Report.
- Reinforcing pads of manhole & nozzles shall be pneumatically(bubble leakage test) tested at a minimum
pressure of 0.6 kg/cm² prior to hydrostatic test. (No need to perform bubble leakage test again, if the
manufacturer has already performed it before at shop). After hydrostatic test completion, spin holes of
R.F.Pads will be closed with grease oil.
- Upon completion of the Hydrostatic Test operation, PT FLEKSINDO QC Inspector shall verify that all
temporary attachments have been removed.
- In process monitoring of all Hydrostatic Test operations shall be performed by PT FLEKSINDO QC
Inspector.
- After hydrostatic testing has been satisfactorily completed, the vessel shall be re-checked by inspectors for
out-of-roundness and for bow.
- After completion of Hydrostatic Test operation, PT FLEKSINDO QC Inspector shall submit the all
Hydrostatic Test reports and documents for monitoring and approval.

10. RECORDS

- Hydrostatic test equipments shall be provided with valid calibration and test certificates.
- Base elevation readings shall be recorded for each column of the tank as in before-during-after
hydrostatic test operation.
- The Hydrostatic Test Operator shall indicate the description of elevation read parts, the job no, date of
hydrostatic test, min-max test fluid temperature, water fill rates, holding times, test pressure at the top &
bottom of vessel, pressure holding time and test position.
