Pipelines are used for pumping liquid or gaseous working fluids under pressure. Internal and external physical influences, temperature changes and aggressive chemical environments have a destructive effect on the structure. To eliminate the occurrence of emergency situations and determine the percentage of operational wear, hydraulic tests of pipelines are carried out, shut-off valves, as well as service systems.
How the tests are carried out
Routine hydraulic tests are carried out - before putting the facility into operation, in accordance with the manufacturer’s regulations, after repair work, as directed by the supervisory authorities. The measures involve the implementation of certain actions taking into account the type and specifics of the pipeline. KZIT company specialists provide this type of service on a formal contractual basis. The technical capabilities of the enterprise allow testing:
- Individual elements or parts in stationary conditions in our own laboratory.
- At the installation site of the highway using mobile equipment.
Additional services – non-destructive testing of the quality of welded joints. Elimination of detected defects at joints. Determination of exact indicators of the maximum permissible operating pressure in the system and the temperature of the working fluid using special diagnostic instruments.
Performing the operation
Hydraulic testing of pipelines at their installation site involves filling the system with liquid or gas to create critical pressure in it. Check using instruments and visually inspect for leaks. If necessary, eliminate identified defects or provide recommendations for organizing repair activities.
Consultation and acceptance of applications
You can obtain more complete information about the conditions for conducting hydraulic tests using the KZIT company website. Consultation with interested clients is carried out by a full-time specialist. Applications for events are accepted after discussion of the estimated cost. Based on the results of the work performed, a package of documentation of the established form is provided.
