Hydrotest in Ras Tanura

Hydrotest Services in Ras Tanura

Ras Tanura is the site of one of Saudi Arabia's largest refineries and one of the world's biggest crude oil export terminals, with tank farms, loading lines, manifolds and subsea pipelines running out to the berths. The work here is shaped by the sea: marine corrosion, large-diameter lines, and jetty and terminal schedules that are planned around tanker movements.

Terminal pipelines, tank-farm piping and refinery modifications in Ras Tanura are hydrotested after construction and repair. Large-diameter lines need careful filling, venting and temperature stabilisation before the hold period starts, and seawater or fresh water choice depends on the material and the client specification.

Every job under our hydrotest services in Ras Tanura starts with a site survey and a written method statement, and ends with a record of the work for your files.

Because leaks during a test usually come from flanged joints, every joint is made up by bolt torquing beforehand, and any flange damage is corrected by flange facing before the test is repeated.

FAQ

Hydrotest services in Ras Tanura: FAQ

Can seawater be used for hydrotesting in Ras Tanura?

Only where the specification allows it. Seawater is sometimes approved for carbon steel pipelines with inhibitors and prompt flushing, but stainless and alloy systems normally require low-chloride fresh water.

Can you work around terminal and tanker schedules in Ras Tanura?

Yes. We plan jobs around loading windows and terminal permits, and can split work into short tasks that fit between vessel movements when a line cannot be out of service for long.

What test pressure is used?

The test pressure comes from the design code and your specification. For process piping to ASME B31.3, for example, it is normally 1.5 times the design pressure, adjusted for temperature. We work to the value in the approved test pack.
