How to conduct pressure testing on large tower equipment

Is it the same as for other equipment, using hydraulic or pneumatic pressure? Considering that using water pressure involves a large amount of water, are there any other methods, and preferably better ones?
How large is the large diameter? Generally, if the site can meet the water requirements, a hydrostatic test should be carried out whenever possible. Is a 2,000-cubic-meter spherical tank larger in volume than your tower? It still uses a hydrostatic test.
If the volume is too large, air pressure is generally not taken into consideration. . The key issue is that the plan is difficult to approve. . For towers with large volumes, hydraulic pressure requires comprehensive consideration of factors such as foundation load capacity and the arrangement of saddles. . .
Given that the bearing and support reactions have been calculated, the water pressure~~~~
Sixty or seventy meters long, with a diameter of 3 or 4 meters – all are used for hydraulic pressure tests
Use water pressure as much as possible, but the key is to consider the supporting effect of that pressure in order to avoid deformation. At a constant pressure, the larger the container, the greater the risk associated with pressure testing; in the event of an accident, it can result in significant losses of life and property.
Gas-liquid mixing tests can also be considered.
