Hydrotesting Procedure Requirement at Site

This document outlines the hydro testing procedure for pressure testing piping and equipment. It includes sections on personnel qualifications, required equipment, preparation steps, pressurizing stages, holding periods, depressurizing, and reporting. The key steps are to verify welding and inspections are complete, isolate any in-line components, fill the system from the lowest point and progress upwards, pressurize in stages and hold at each stage for 5 minutes, depressurize gradually from the highest point, and document the results in a pressure test report.

Hydro testing Procedure Ref: MG/QSP/MQP-01

Personnel Qualification
Personnel conducting the test and recording the test result shall be suitably qualified in terms of Experience.

Equipments
1.Test Manifold (block valve/regulating valve, provision for fitting relief valve 2.pressure hoses 3.Pump (Manual or Hydraulic ) 4.Pressure chart Recorder (only for shop test) 5.Relief Valve 6.Minimum Two pressure gauges (one at manifold & other one at highest point in test system)

7.Pressure gauges calibration should be valid.

8.Pressure Gauge Selection for ASME B31.3/ASME SEC.VIII works Gauge Dial 100 mm Dia (4) Range - (1.5 4) times of test pressure 9.Relief valve set pressure 3 bar or 10% of the test pressure.

Preparation for Pressure Test


1.Verify all Welding and NDT ,PWHT (If applicable) shall be completed and accepted by Client. 2.All applicable joints and connection (welded/Flanged) shall be exposed and unpainted. 3.Pre pressure test check list (MSF-44) shall be prepared and signed off by QA/QC.

4.Items needs to be isolated from the test system (Control valves, compressors, pumps, rupture disc, relief valves) 5.Only standard Blind Flanges with same rating, spades & Gaskets shall be used 6.Test Medium Water (potable, brackish/salt water as available) 7.For Carbon and Low alloy steels Max.chloride content of 250 ppm for potable water. If salt or brackish water issued for testing, the system shall be completely drained and flushed with potable water immediately and thoroughly dried by using hot air or steam. 8.For Austenitic Stainless steel Boiler feed water, demineralised water or condensate with Max.chloride content of 2 ppm.

9.Water analysis certificate to be attached with test pack.

10.Test fluid shall be filled from lower end of the system, progressing towards the vents on completion. 12.Pressurizing stages 25%,50%,75% & 100 % of test pressure. 13. Pressure shall be maintained at each stage 5 minutes. Holding The start of holding period shall commence from the time that stabilization has been achieved. For Piping, Minimum holding time 10 minutes.

Depressurizing
1.Always depressure at high point of the system. 2.Shall be done gradually and evenly. 3.Open all vents during draining. 4.The system shall be completely drained and to ensure that no water inside the system. 5.Blow Air after draining of system for complete dryness.
