After pressure test the residues of the foam-frothing agent to be washed off, to avoid
Corrosion.
Procedure
– preliminary check by 2,0 bar including visual examination of joints
– pressure to be increased by steps until leakage test pressure is reached
– leakage test by test pressure = 0,5 bar
– pressure to be increased by steps until pressure test =1,1 x design pressure, min. 30
minutes holding time by test pressure
– Test Results and Report
The requirements are fulfilled, if
– no inadmissible deformation are found and
– no formation of foam is detected on leakages during the pneumatic test; for nonmetallic
gaskets on pipe flanges uniformly occurring fine-pored foam (without local
formation of bubbles) is, however, admissible.
The accepted pressure test shall be confirmed in a test report by the manufacturer.
The test report shall indicate the tested equipment, test pressure, test fluid, test results
and date, test temperature and pressure gauge No. with calibration certificate and
pressure test chart .
