Hydrostatic testing, a crucial procedure conducted by Leaktronics, involves pressure testing to assess the structural integrity of pressure vessels and pipelines. This test is essential for evaluating if pipelines can sustain the water they are holding. It involves filling the pipes with water, then increasing the water pressure using a hydrostatic pump. Then, maintain the pressure for a specified duration, usually around 20 minutes, and monitored for stability. Read the article to learn more on What Is A Hydrostatic Test?
The Safety of Hydrostatic Testing
At Leaktronics, we understand that hydrostatic testing is paramount for commercial entities to test various components like boilers, meter skids, tubing, compressed gas cylinders, and pipelines. These systems can withstand such pressure, ensuring a comprehensive evaluation of their integrity. However, for standard household plumbing systems, hydrostatic testing might pose risks, as components like angle stops might not endure such pressure, leading to potential leaks.
Leak Detection and Assessment
Alternatives to Hydrostatic Testing
Leaktronics offers safer methods to test for leaks in plumbing systems. Our approach involves utilizing the existing pressure in the system to detect leaks. A sewer water test, for example, can accurately identify leaks under the slab without the need for additional pressurization. This method involves filling the system with water and observing any pressure drops, offering a simple yet effective leak detection process.
Addressing Leak Detection
Upon confirmation of a leak through a sewer water test, the next step involves leak detection and localization. Leaktronics provides state-of-the-art leak detection equipment, trusted by leading industry professionals, to accurately find and address leaks.
