Strength testing is a technique used in the oil and gas industry to prove the mechanical strength and integrity of pressure containing components in a system.

Hydro testing of pipe work, pipelines and vessels is performed to expose defective materials that have missed prior detection, ensure that any remaining defects are insignificant enough to allow operation at design pressures, expose possible leaks and serve as a final validation of the integrity of the constructed system. ASME B31.3 requires this testing to ensure tightness and strength.

Hydrostatic testing has long been used to determine and verify system integrity. Several types of information can be obtained through this verification process as well as there are several types of flaws that can be detected by hydrostatic testing, such as:

 Existing flaws in the material

 Actual mechanical properties of the pipe

 Localized hard spots that may cause failure in the presence of hydrogen.

AL ASAS will provide hydro test services up to 2000 bar and all requirements for hydrostatic test such as filling pump, pressurizing pump, pressure & temperature recorders, pressure gauges, temperature sensors, dead weight tester, fittings & pressure hoses.
