Is a water pressure test considered a leakiness test? According to the HG20202-2014 degreasing specifications, degreasing must be carried out prior to the tightness test
Hydraulic pressure tests do not belong to integrity tests. Integrity tests are mainly used to check the airtightness of equipment. The water pressure test is primarily used to check the equipment’s capacity to withstand pressure and its stability under water pressure. .
The hydrostatic test includes a strength test and a tightness test
It does not belong. The tightness test is essentially a leak test; different standards use various terms for it, and there are also differences among them, resulting in some confusion in terminology.
The hydrostatic test is a strength test; after ensuring the safety of the pipes, an airtightness test is conducted to verify whether the leakage in the entire system meets the required standards, thereby reducing risks.
