Pressure Test in Detail

Pressure testing is a fundamental step in qualifying pressure-retaining components for safe operation. It involves subjecting equipment to a controlled internal pressure — typically above its design pressure — to confirm structural integrity and identify leaks or material weaknesses. This test is vital for safety compliance, commissioning, maintenance, and recertification of assets in industries like oil & gas, chemical processing, and power generation.

At 2R Inspection, we perform both hydrostatic (water-based) and pneumatic (air or gas-based) pressure tests based on project specifications, risk level, and applicable codes such as ASME Section VIII, API 650, API 6A, ISO 1167, and PED. Our expert technicians ensure safe test execution with proper isolation, pressure ramp-up, hold time monitoring, and visual inspection. We also offer pressure logging, calibration of gauges, and detailed documentation to meet client and regulatory requirements.

Whether you're testing new fabrication, conducting in-service verification, or performing scheduled requalification, our pressure testing services deliver accurate, traceable, and certifiable results. With 2R Inspection, you gain peace of mind that your equipment can withstand real-world operating conditions — safely and reliably.
