PortalConventional Hydrostatic
Pressurisation with water to a project-defined value, with pressure monitoring and simultaneous visual inspection.
Integrity Test
Hydrostatic Test
Verification of the structural strength and leak-tightness of pressure vessels, tanks and piping under controlled pressure.
ASME Seção VIIINR-13API 510
The Process
How It Works
The Hydrostatic Test subjects the equipment to a pressure above its design value, using water as the test fluid, to prove its structural strength and leak-tightness before entering service. It is a code requirement for pressure vessels, piping and tanks, and an essential part of final fabrication release and periodic inspections.

Applicable Techniques
Types and Variants
Pneumatic
Alternative with air or inert gas, applied when a hydrostatic test is not feasible. Requires additional safety controls.
Leak Test
Low-pressure leak check, complementary to the structural-strength test.
When to Use
Where We Apply It
- New pressure vessels and periodic requalification (NR-13)
- Storage tanks
- Industrial piping
- Final release of fabricated equipment
