of the following standards and specifications.
ASME B31.3 / ASME B 31.1/1BR
Approved drawings
Approved FOP
CHECK/VERIFICATIONS PRIOR TO TAKING UP HYDROSTATIC PRESSURE TEST
Vent isin high point and drain in the lowest point. Minimum 2 Nos. of vents shall be provided.
All supports are as per drawing, mainly anchoring point if any. Extra supports to be supported
provided, as required.
NDT clearance as per FOP & approved drawing.
All the tapping points are as per PR diagram.
Operating level platform construction (If not existing)
Piping layout is in accordance with the applicable drawings.
Drains, vents and other fittings are provided in accordance with applicable drawings.
Orientation, direction and the flow symbol of the valves are in compliance with Piping Isometric
drawings / P&ID.
Slopes are maintained in the piping as indicated in relevant Drawings.
All shipping and erection stopper, welding jigs and temporary attachments are removed.
Test gaskets are used at the flange connections, unless otherwise specified in the approved
drawings
Thickness and size of Blind / Dummy Flanges are as per ASME B 16.5,

STANDARD PROCEDURE FOR HYDROSTATIC PRESSURE TEST OF PIPING
Proc No.: TPL JQMD/MECH/SPROC / 001
Rev No. & Date: 0 & 17.02.2014
Flushing of all pipe lines is done with specified water to remove dust, dirt and other foreign
material
All the testing equipments like Pressure Gauge, Safety Relief Valve, Thermometer, Manifolds
(Headers) and etc., are in working condition. Test Certificates for the same shall be verified.
‘Suitable drainage system is made for draining of water after satisfactory completion of
Hydrostatic Pressure test.
HYDROSTATIC TEST PROCEDURE
Test Medium:
Potable Water shall be used as the test medium, unless otherwise specified by drawing,
Maximum Chloride content in water for Hydrostatic Testing of Carbon Steel shall be 250 ppm and
for Austenitic and Ferritic Stainless steels shall be 50 ppm.
Pressure Gauges and its locatios
Pressure gauges shall have a range of not less than 1 ¥ times test the pressure and maximum of
4 times of test pressure. The gauges shall be placed at highest (one no) and at lowest nearby
pump (one no).
Ensure that pressure gauges installed for hydrostatic pressure testing of piping have valid
calibration status and this shall be ensured before the start of the testing program. The calibration
certificates of the Pressure gauges shall be shown to Customer for review. Frequency of the
Calibration shall be maximum 6 months, unless otherwise specified in Customer Specification.
Filling of pipeline (system) with water:
Fill the piping system with Water.
Ensure proper venting of air through vents provided at high points in the system by tapping with
Mallet. Before closing of the last vent in the system under test, make sure that the water is over
flowing without bubbles indicating absence of trapped air by running the pump, if necessary.
Caution; Make sure that the system is free of alr before applying pressure.
PRESSURISING:
The test pressure shall be as per the Approved drawings / Technical Specification / Line
Designation Table.
Apply pressure by means of a suitable test pump of sufficient capacity to build the desired test
pressure. Connect the pump to the system only when it is ready for the test. Provide pressure
‘gauge at the pump discharge for guidance in bringing the system up to test pressure,

STANDARD PROCEDURE FOR HYDROSTATIC PRESSURE TEST OF PIPING
Proc No.: TPL JQMD/MECH/SPROC / 001
Rev No. & Date: 0 & 17.02.2014
‘The pressure shall be gradually increased until a gage pressure which is the lesser of one-half the
test pressure or 170 kPa (25 psi) is attained, at which time a preliminary visual check of the entire
Pipe Line shall be made, including examination of joints. Thereafter, the pressure shall be
gradually increased in steps until the test pressure is reached, holding the pressure for minimum
30 minutes to equalize Piping strains. During the holding period, the Pump shall be disconnected
with the System.
INSPECTION:
After the holding period, all the related pipes and joints shall be visually checked thoroughly for
leak tightness and Tapping the Joint vicinity by Mallet. The same shall be offered to Customer as
per FOP for witness.
After completion of the Hydrostatic Test, pressure shall be released gradually by opening the vent
valve from highest point.
On reaching down the System to zero pressure reading in the gauge, drain valve shall be opened
for draining.
While draining, the vent valve shall be kept open for allowing the air flow into pipe.
After satisfactory completion of Hydrostatic test, the related Piping shall be flushed with water
and dried.
SAFETY
PERSONNEL.
All personnel involved in the operations described by this procedure will have received Safety
Induction Training and the job specific training required for the particular operation in which they
will participate.
‘Toolbox talk shall be conducted prior to proceeding of the Work
Emergency response plan shall be followed in case of emergency.
HSE Personal must be present during Hydrostatic testing
Relative permits to be taken prior to start the work from TPL
DOCUMENTATION:
Hydrostatic pressure test report (Form No, FQ/012) shall be made and signature of Customer
shall be obtained.
