Hydrotesting - Leak Testing
Applications
Leak testing may be performed on any process pipework or system to prove the integrity of all flanged joints, fittings and valves before the introduction of the live system contents.
Process systems are typically tested during the initial commissioning stage, and then subsequently after each further intervention to prove that any disturbed joints have been correctly reinstated.
PSL pioneered the introduction of hand held leak detectors, which have been proven to significantly reduce the overall time required to complete the leak testing operations.
Features
- Can detect leaks as small as 5 scf/yr
- Nitrogen, nitrogen/helium or air/helium test gasses can be used.
- Automatically reduces the system oxygen levels
- Automatically reduces the system dewpoint.
- System instruments can be checked, calibrated and commissioned at the same time.
Benefits
Leak testing of any process facility will reduce loss of production through unplanned shutdowns to repair leaking joints.
Safety of any facility which has been leak tested is enhanced through the elimination of potential escape of flammable, toxic, or asphyxiating system contents.
Environmental performance is improved through the elimination of hydrocarbon and hazardous product releases to the atmosphere.
Experience
As one of he world's leading leak testing providers on a range of oil, gas and petrochemical facilities, operations have been successfully completed throughout the European, African and Asian regions.
When combined with PSL's bolting and flange management services, significant reductions in headcount, schedule and costs have been proven.
PSL's unique test pack format ensures all operations are completed to the highest safety standards.
