Title: Hydro Testing Procedure

4. Operating Procedure.

4.1 General

Ensure that all mechanical fabrications and installations have been completed, & no
remaining scope related to the Test piece.

All welding seams of the LPG pipes shall be free from paint, grease, oil etc which may
hinder any leak during the test.

Any fitting (pressure gauges, relief valves, level sensors, Pressure switches, etc.) shall not
be fitted to directly to the Test portion and those shall be blanked using blind flanges or
dually isolated from the system .

Original packing/ bolts shall not be used for blanking of flanges.

Make sure to check the all gauges are dually calibrated & the tags are in place.

There should be continuous supervision/monitoring of the FP pipe line from the start of
filling and complete releasing of pressure after testing.

Movement of people around the location should be minimized during filling/pressurizing

and only authorized personnel should be allowed for inspection.

There should be a notice/warning signs indicating status of the pipe line and should be
available in languages understood by all personnel in the area.

If there is any indication of movement shell of lines, Filling/pressurizing must be haltered.

4.2 Filling & Pressurising

Fill the water in to the pre-prepared piping system between the pre-agreed points where
the pressure test perform. Make sure to isolate all necessary accessories mentioned in 4.2.

Then pressurized the system by using pressure pump. Max. Pressure will be 20 Bar.
Working pressure will be 5-6 bar. That will last for 24 hrs & the readings will be noted
within 2 hrs period.

Title: Hydro Testing Procedure

Pressure should read from gauge mounted on pump.

If there any pressure drops, Pipe line inspection will be commenced. Once the defected
joint identified, the rectification will be commenced.

After completion the rectification, entire procedure will be resumed. Measurements &
the time will be recorded.

Releasing of pressure should be done gradually through the vent.

4.4 Report

After successfully completion of the test, a report will be issued by the QA & QC Department of
LAUGFS engineering.
