A nondestructive test procedure used to check a length of tubing for holes, cracks, and porosity. Tubing is filled with water at a high pressure for a specified period of time to check for leaks.
A means of testing high pressure reservoir integrity which involves placing the reservoir in a large tank of water, filling the reservoir with water to a known pressure and measuring the amount of flexure in the reservoir walls by monitoring water displacement in the tank.
A test conducted on the cylinder or shell of a portable fire extinguisher to ensure it can withstand internal pressures it is subjected to.
A test in which water is introduced into the tube at high pressure levels in order to test for holes and porous parts. Because hydrostatic testing is a nondestructive test, the water pressure level does not surpass the tube's yield strength.
Testing of the integrity of a newly places, but uncovered pipeline for leaks. The pipeline is filled with water and pressurized to operating pressures, and the pipeline is visually inspected.
A test that is conducted to evaluate cylinder strength. This test consists of filling a cylinder with liquid, subjecting it to pressure, sealing it, and then monitoring the pressure. A successful test result is indicated by the tank's ability to hold this pressure.
