Why hydrotest is
HAZARDOUS?
-
1.5 TIMES design pressure
Hydrotest involves
HIGH PRESSURE.
-
Hydrotest could
INJURE PEOPLE
and
DAMAGE PROVERTY
-
So be careful.
Always follow
SAFETY STANDARD and
BEST PRACTICES for hydrotest
-
LEARNING how to carry out
hydrotest
SAFELY
is very important
-
Here are the tips...
-
Only TRAINED and
AUTHORIZED PERSONNEL
can take responsibility for
the test
11
-
Ensure test condition with
the DESIGN
intents
22
-
All fill piping, hose and
temporary closures should
have higher STRENGTH
than the test pressure
33
-
All piping, valves and fittings
tested should of known
SPECIFICATION
44
-
NEVER USE susceptible to
brittle or stress corrosion
cracking materials
55
-
All re-used materials have to
be INSPECTED before used.
66
-
SUPPORT of piping and
equipment exposed to the
hydrotest should have
proper STRENGTH.
77
-
Pressure-relief device is
required to avoid
OVER PRESSURE.
88
-
Make sure no AIR trapped in
the tested pipe or
equipment. It is very
DANGEROUS.
99
-
Only
AUTHORIZED PERSONNELS
are allowed to be
at the test area.
1010
-
Hydrotest area has to be
restricted with
SAFETY LINE and protected
BARRIER.
1111
-
Use WARNING SIGNS to
warn people about the
hydrotest.
1212
-
WEAR appropriate PPE for
the hydrotest.
1313
-
Use CALIBRATED pressure
gauge for the test. It must
be able to cover 1.5 to 2
times pressure test.
1414
-
Get SAFETY WORK PERMIT
prior to hydrotest.
1515
-
COMMUNICATE the test
planning prior to execution.
1616
-
STOP the work if unsafe or
potential hazardous
condition found during the
test.
1717
-
Never STAND in the front of
pressure gauge during the
test.
1818
-
Enough LIGHTING is
available for the hydrotest.
1919
-
After hydrotest finished,
RELIEF PRESSURE first prior
to draining water.
