4.5 Test Equipment

4.5.1 Equipment Required


The numbers of recorders, gauges, pumps, and other necessary
equipment are a function of the scope of a hydrostatic test. The
equipment listed in Table 4.5.1.A is the minimum required for either a
main line test or a test of prefabricated piping in a shop or yard.

TABLE 4.5.1.A -- MINIMUM EQUIPMENT REQUIREMENTS


Equipment Mainline Shop/Yard
Plunger type squeeze pump with or without 1
2
revolution counter as required (pump only)
Pressure recorder 4 1
Temperature recorder to record pipe, ground, and per test
2*
ambient temperatures schematic
Dead weight tester 2 1
Pressure gauge 1 1
Thermometer 1 1
Calibrated liquid measure to ± 10 ml 1 1

* pipe and ambient temperatures only

4.5.2 Equipment Calibration


All recorders and gauges shall be calibrated in accordance with EI
Procedure VII.A.1, Main Line Testing.

4.5.3 Certification
Dead weight testers and calibrated thermometers shall be certified to
a government standard every three years.

4.5.4 Instrumentation Arrangements


Refer to Figures 4.5.A and 4.5.B for typical instrumentation
arrangements.

4.5.5 Test Head Assemblies


Test head assemblies shall not be pressurized to a stress exceeding
75% of the SMYS of the test head material. The ancillary piping shall
not be pressurized to a stress exceeding 50% of the SMYS of the
piping.
