Hydrotesting, also known as hydrostatic testing, is a procedure used to assess the integrity and strength of pipes, tanks, and other pressure vessels. During this process, various sealing devices such as isolation plugs, paddle blinds, and blind flanges are employed to close off sections of the equipment that are not under test. The equipment is then filled with water, which may be dyed to detect leaks, and subjected to pressures higher than its normal operating level. This elevated pressure is maintained for a specified duration to ensure the vessel can endure it without any leaks or structural failures. Hydrotesting is essential for confirming the safety and reliability of pressure-containing components before they are put into service, helping to prevent potential hazards due to weak or defective construction.
