Program Overview

COURSE DESCRIPTION

The final testing before the blasting and painting of pressure equipment is normally the Proof Pressure or Leak Test. Since pressure tests are conducted above the normal maximum allowable working pressure, they shall be carried out under controlled conditions, with appropriate safety precautions. Therefore the development of special procedures are essential. Different international codes and standards require different approaches. For instance the EN 13445 requires the Hydrotest pressure to be

whereby ASME VIII Div. 1 requires

Piping systems even require to calculate two pressures, the system pressure and the max. pressure of connecting flanges.

Under some circumstances Hydrotests might be replaced by a Pneumatic pressure test.

In order to carry out the pneumatic pressure test it might be necessary to calculate the stored energy and convert it to equivalent pounds of TNT.

This course enables the participants to develop applicable pressure test procedures and to carry out the pressure test in accordance to code requirements.

Participants can now pursue IICS 1.4 Certified Leak & Pressure Testing Personnel with the international certification body, IICS.
