 Pipeline companies have conducted hydrostatic testing for decades as one method to identify defects or damage to a pipeline that could potentially cause a leak or failure. Hydrostatic testing involves filling a portion of pipeline, or similar pressurized system, with water and then using reciprocating pumps to force additional water into the system in order to pressure test the pipeline for a specified period of time. Typically 8 hours or more. Hydrostatic testing is most commonly used to strength test new pipe prior to placing the line into service or retesting pipelines periodically to certify that they can safely remain in service.
