  1. Three Common Manual Hydro Testing Three Common Manual Hydro Testing Techniques Techniques ================================================================================= Manual hydro testing, or hydrostatic testing, is a demanding process for various industries. Though a non-destructive testing method, the equipment used in hydrostatic testing can fail or rupture if a crack or inspection surpasses a specific test pressure. Overall, the test outcomes depend on the quality and manual hydro test pump type. The hand-operated hydro test pump can implement three common manual hydro testing techniques. Direct Expansion Method Direct Expansion Method The direct expansion method is implemented by filling the cylinder or vessel with a set amount of water. The system is pressurized, and the amount of water expelled is measured after the pressure is removed. The total and permanent expansion values are calculated by monitoring the test pressure, the water pumped into the vessel, and the water expelled from the vessel.

  2. Proof Pressure Method Proof Pressure Method The process of a proof pressure test includes pressurizing the pipe or vessel with water to a stress level below the material of construction yield strength but above the design pressure. The approach of the proof-pressure method is to detect leaks or other failures leading to weaknesses, such as wall- thinning. Water Jacket Method Water Jacket Method As the name suggests, the water jacket method is carried out by filling the vessel with water, which is then loaded into a sealed chamber. The chamber is also filled with water, called a test jacket. The vessel is pressurized for a particular time inside the chamber. The vessel expands in the test jack, and the water is forced out into a glass tube that measures the overall expansion. Once the total expansion is recorded, the vessel is depressurized and shrinks to its original size. The water flows back into the test jacket as the vessel deflates. At times, the vessel does enlarge to its original size. Hence, the second size value is considered the permanent expansion. The vessel's capability to fit in for the service depends on the difference between permanent and overall expansion.
