The Basics of Hydrostatic Testing 

Simply put, Hydrostatic Testing involves filling a hose assembly with water and taking it to a pre-specified test pressure, generally 1.5 times the maximum working pressure and holding it for a set period of time. Whilst under pressure the hose is monitored and inspected to ensure that the pressure is held and its integrity is maintained.

What is Hydrostatic Testing Used for?

Hydrostatic pressure testing is a process of checking the integrity of a variety of components such as boilers, gas cylinders, piping systems, and other pressure vessels. Hydrostatic testing becomes particularly important after a component fails or is repaired. To ensure that repairs or replacements are completed successfully, a hydrostatic test will identify any potential leaks and ensure that the system is ready for use.

Buckley Industrial's Test Rigs

Buckley Industrial has developed one of the most advanced hydrostatic testing facilities available.

For more field hydrostatic hose pressure testinginformation, please contact us. We will provide professional answers.

• Our custom built test rigs, with highly sensitive computer aided tracking equipment, allows us to apply the exact test pressure for a set period of time and monitor any pressure drop. 
• Even the smallest leak, not visible to the naked eye, can be detected. 
• We make sure not to over-pressurise, as this may damage the integrity of the hose. 
• We offer a wide range of hose testing and inspection services, providing you with peace-of-mind that your system will operate without issue.

Testing Compliance

It is important that you can rely on your equipment, and that your components won't fail when you need them the most. When components fail, substantial losses in both productivity and output usually follow. To ensure that a thorough test is completed, our hydrostatic testing services guarantee the following: All of our test rigs can be used with demineralised water thereby complying with the hose testing requirements of ISO, the international standard for metallic hose assemblies. Our facilities allow us to test hose assemblies up to 30,000 psi ( Bar). Testing is carried out in rubber lined troughs, clear of the floor, equipped with clear acrylic lids to meet safety standards yet still allow inspection under pressure. CONTACT US

Hydrostatic Testing FAQs

Usually employed to test the integrity of a pressure vessel after a repair, adjustment, or manufacture, hydrostatic testing can be used on storage tanks, gas cylinders, compressed air cylinders, fire extinguishing cylinders, Self Contained Breathing Apparatus (SCBA) and chemical pipelines.

Faulty high-pressure cylinders can cause catastrophic situations. Even a very minor fault or rupture could cause an explosive reaction at a high pressure. Needless to say, faults must be avoided at all costs to ensure maximum safety and efficiency. By regularly testing cylinders hydrostatically, a log of data can be collected to determine the health of the cylinder, and anticipate when it will need changing.

Hydrostatic pressure testing is normally necessary when a component is either repaired or replaced. It may also be necessary to test the integrity of items that have just been manufactured. Any faults or leaks can be identified using hydrostatic testing before the component is put into action.
