Hydro Test in Detail

Hydrostatic testing (hydro test) is one of the most trusted and widely used methods to assess the strength, durability, and leak resistance of pressure-retaining equipment. By filling the vessel or pipeline with water and pressurizing it to a specified level — typically above its normal operating pressure — any signs of leakage, deformation, or structural failure can be identified before the asset is placed into service.

At 2R Inspection, we provide hydro test services for pipelines, pressure vessels, heat exchangers, tanks, valves, and other critical components. Our testing procedures follow international codes such as ASME Section VIII, API 650/653, ISO 1167, and client-specific specifications. We handle all phases of the process — including system isolation, controlled pressurization, pressure holding, visual inspection, and certified reporting. For buried or long-distance pipelines, we also offer pressure logging and test section management.

Whether for new fabrication, in-service requalification, or periodic inspection, our hydro testing services ensure your assets can safely withstand operational pressures. With 2R Inspection, you get more than a pass/fail test — you get full documentation, expert oversight, and peace of mind that your equipment meets the demands of real-world operation.
