Reference answer: Answer: (1) To test the strength of the equipment, so that any potential defects in the material or during the manufacturing process can be detected in time before it is put into use, allowing for appropriate measures to be taken for correction. (2) It can help to partially relieve stress. During hydrostatic testing, local yielding occurs in the weld area, causing the residual stresses to be reallocated; this reduces the residual stresses at the welds and decreases the risk of brittle failure under certain applied loads.

To assess the overall strength and reliability of the tower, a testing medium at a pressure higher than the design pressure is used to evaluate the manufacturing quality of the tower, the strength and stiffness of various stressed components, as well as the sealing performance of welding joints and all connection surfaces.
Conduct strength tests. Test the voltage resistance.
1. Safety testing: to determine whether the safety performance is satisfactory at the design pressure. 2. Quality inspection: to check for leaks at the operating pressure. 3. Hydrostatic testing is safer than pneumatic testing, as explosions do not occur. OP, please help hide it: victory:

To assess the strength of the equipment, so that any potential defects in the material or during manufacturing can be detected in time before the equipment is put into use, allowing for appropriate corrective actions to be taken. 2. It can help to reduce stress to some extent. During the hydrostatic test, local yielding occurs in the weld area, causing the residual stresses to be reallocated; this reduces the residual stresses at the weld site and lowers the risk of brittle failure under certain external loads.
It checked the strength of the equipment, tested for leaks, and also verified whether manufacturing processes such as welding were up to standard
Safety tests: to determine whether the safety performance is satisfactory at the designed pressure. Quality inspections: to check for leaks at the specified pressure. Hydraulic testing is safer than pneumatic testing, as it does not involve the risk of explosion.
Hydrostatic testing is safe, simple, and fast, with a pressure generally 20% higher than the operating pressure. It is a requirement that must be met for all pressure equipment before it leaves the factory, as well as the technical parameters of the auxiliary equipment. It is an important step to ensure the safety of the equipment.
What seems to be most common are intensity testing and leak detection! I’ve learned from everyone!*
