The hydrostatic test checks containers and pipes for leaks and strength at up to 3,500 bar.
In many industries, piping and vessels that contain or transport fluids or gases, often at high pressure, are an important part of the required infrastructure. In order to ensure their reliability, it has become essential to carry out such tests. The most commonly used test method is hydrostatic testing. A professional hydrostatic test is used for quality assurance and to ensure the safety of pipelines and vessels. It has several important functions:
- Leakage detection
- Strength testing at maximum operating pressure
- Verification of design standards
- Ensuring operational safety
- Fulfilment of legal inspection obligations
- Maintenance and servicing
How does the hydrostatic testing work?
A pressure test is a method of examining components that are intended to store and transfer fluids, usually under pressure. The aim is to prove that the components are sufficiently strong and leak-proof. Pressure tests are part of the acceptance test and are usually carried out as hydrostatic tests. The system to be tested is therefore filled with a test medium (usually water), a test pressure is applied, and the pressure is constantly measured. The leak tightness of the system can be determined by measuring the pressure loss.
Why use water? Because liquids such as water, unlike gases, cannot be compressed. This makes it possible to accurately measure the external hydraulic pressure and determine if there are any leaks, such as welds in piping or connections between components.
Hydrostatic testing with high-pressure units from KAMAT
KAMAT develops high-performance complete systems for precisely this area of application. Our pump units for pressure testing vessels and pipelines are extremely versatile. With up to 3500 bar, hydrostatic tests, burst pressure tests as well as cyclic pressure tests can be realised effortlessly. As our high-pressure technology is used for this testing technology in a wide variety of industries, its design is also variable. These systems can be driven by diesel, electric and petrol combustion engines and can be controlled mechanically, electrically or pneumatically as an option. They are supplied as turnkey solutions and offer the perfect platform for providing proof of the strength and tightness of your pressurised containers.
Trust in our many years of experience in the field of premium high-tech solutions and rely on KAMAT to carry out your pressure tests efficiently and reliably. Our aim is to offer you the best products and services so that you can fully rely on the safety of your containers.
KAMAT pump units are equipped with innovative, modern measuring technology. If this is not sufficient for your intended use or if a specific customised solution is required, additional individual measurement technology can be connected to the pump unit as external measurement technology.
