Hydrostatic testing
Testing piping, pipelines and equipment with water to the pressure and hold time set by the code and your specification.
Hydrotest services in Ras Al Khair for minerals industrial city, aluminium and phosphate facilities and other sites across Ras Al Khair. We test piping, pipelines and vessels to the approved test pack, then drain, dry and reinstate the system.
Hydrotest in Ras Al Khair
Ras Al Khair on the Gulf coast is Saudi Arabia's minerals industrial city, with Ma'aden's aluminium and phosphate complexes, one of the world's largest combined power and desalination plants, and a dedicated industrial port. The equipment mix is unusual: large slurry, acid and seawater lines, smelter utilities and desalination trains, all in a coastal, corrosive setting.
Desalination trains, power plant piping and minerals processing systems in Ras Al Khair are hydrotested after construction and major repairs. Large volumes are common, so we plan filling rates, venting and water disposal carefully, and use water quality suited to the materials being tested.
Our hydrotest services in Ras Al Khair are planned with your operations and safety teams and carried out under your permit-to-work.
Most systems we test have just been modified, often with new sections installed after pipe cold cutting, and once the test is passed we can dry them by nitrogen purging before commissioning.
What we offer
Testing piping, pipelines and equipment with water to the pressure and hold time set by the code and your specification.
Where water cannot be used, pneumatic tests with the additional precautions and exclusion zones they require.
Preparing and reviewing test packs, marked-up drawings, limits, blinds and vent and drain points before testing.
Our bolting crews mobilize with calibrated equipment across Saudi Arabia, 24 hours a day.
FAQ
Yes. We plan pump capacity, filling time and venting for large systems, and arrange water supply and disposal with the site before testing.
Yes. We work on minerals processing, utility and desalination equipment, and adapt tooling and procedures to the materials and media involved, from acid and slurry service to seawater systems.
Water is almost incompressible, so very little energy is stored in the system. If something fails during a hydrotest it leaks rather than bursting violently, which makes it much safer than a pneumatic test.
