Definition

Pressione a cui la pompa sarà sottoposta per un breve periodo per garantire l'integrità della fusione, della guarnizione e della guarnizione.
Calcolo: le pressioni di prova idrostatica possono arrivare fino a 1,5 volte la MAWP, ma possono essere limitate da altri fattori come la guarnizione.

What is the hydrostatic test pressure?

Hydrostatic test pressure is the pressure to which the pump will be subjected to for a short duration to ensure casting, seal, and gasket integrity. This is achieved by sealing and pressurizing the pump when it is not in operation. Hydrostatic test pressures can be to as much as 1.5 times the maximum allowable working pressure, but may be limited by other factors such as the seal.

What is a hydrostatic pressure test used for?

A hydrostatic pressure test is used to check the integrity of a pump’s casting, seal, and gasket/s.
