minimum of 1 hour. Disconnect the pressurizing apparatus from the system
before starting the 1 hour pressure holding period. Correct any test
failures and repeat the hydrostatic pressure cycling and first hydrostatic
pressure test until the system can hold the required pressure for at least
1 hour. After successful completion of the first hydrostatic pressure
test, drain piping system and fill the piping system as defined in

rate, and a period of at least 6-hours with no flow. Supply temporary
pumps, piping connections, chillers and the gauges required to circulate
the water at the desired temperatures and flow rates. Re-circulate water
through supply lines and return through the return piping to demonstrate
that the pressure drop is compatible with the flow rate and size of pipe
and to show that obstructions do not exist in the piping system. Any
unusual indicated pressure drop will be investigated and any obstructions
removed. Repair any leaks found. After any obstructions have been removed
and any leaks repaired, repeat the operational test until successfully
passed.

3.8.2.4 Final Hydrostatic Test

After successful completion of the operational test, pressurize system to

1.5 times the working pressure up to 1000 kPa and hold for a minimum of 4
hours. Disconnect pressurizing apparatus prior to the start of the 4-hour
pressure holding period. Upon test failure, determine the cause of the
failure, correct and repeat all of the hydrostatic pressure cycling and
pressure tests.
