HYDROSTATIC TEST
Objective: To qualify the welding quality given Leak-tightness under Hydraulic pressured conditions as per the ASME code and qualify the vessel to operate at specified design conditions.
Method
- Prepare the tank for the shell Hydrostatic test -Fill the Shell side or jacket side/ coil/ tube side parts for which weld joints are to be tested with water. Blind off all nozzles,
- Fit the PG with the vent valve on the top nozzle.
- Connect the Hydraulic pump to the nozzle.
- When water flows out of the vent, close the vent valve and develop pressure by pump till PG shows a reading at specified Hydrostatic-test pressure.
- Mark the Pressure on the pressure gauge and check the same after 30 minutes.
- Check all weld joints & temporary/permanent joints for leakage. Check the internal surface critically for deformity. Record all the data on the Hydrostatic Test Report
Acceptance criteria
No pressure drop or leakage from any joint at specified Hydrostatic test pressure within 30 minutes of observation. No deformation of the inside surface.

Now connect the wire loop given in the panel board for Auxiliary input, feed pump will restart Check the display which shows” PROCESS OK”
FEED WATER SUCTION PRESSURE LOW
Decrease feed water inlet pressure to less than the required pressure. As soon as water pressure becomes less than required, the Feed Pump will stop Checking on the display which shows fault “INSUFF. FEED WATER”
Increase Feed water inlet pressure so that pressure is maintained. The feed Pump will restart and check on the displays which show “PROCESS OK”.
FEED WATER CONDUCTIVITY HIGH
Decrease the conductivity setting of the feed water set point less than the actual feed water conductivity. The feed Pump will stop checking on the display which shows fault “F.W. CONDUCT. HIGH”
Increase the conductivity setting of the feed water set point more than the actual feed water conductivity. The feed Pump will restart check on the display which shows fault “PROCESS OK“
FEED WATER DISCHARGE PRESSURE LOW
Turn the pressure setting knob clockwise to set pressure more than the actual pressure, and check the display which shows fault “F. W. PRESSURE LOW”.
Turn the pressure setting knob Anti-clock-wise to set pressure less than the actual pressure. Check the display which shows “PROCESS OK “.
INSUFFICIENT EVAPORATION
Increase Feed water flow rate than required at standard temp of Boiler steam. Now accumulation of Feed water in the first column will start. Wait till the water level reaches the level sensor, as soon as the water reaches the level sensor, the Feed Pump will stop. Check on the display which shows fault “INSUFF. EVAPORATION”. (If we close the Ball valve connected before the steam trap it also result to increased accumulation of Feed water in the first column)
Now reduce the Feed water flow rate and set it standard flow rate required at the standard temperature Of Boiler steam. Open the manual drain valve and drain out all water from the first column. Feed Pump will restart. check on the display which shows “PROCESS OK”
PURGING ON PROBLEM
Stop Air supply given to Pneumatic Purging Valve. Increase Feed Water flow rate. Allow water to accumulate in the Last column till it reaches to level sensor (float switch).If the high level continues more than the Purging Fault ON time Feed Pump will stop. Displays show “PURGING ON PROBLEM”
Give Air supply to Pneumatic Purging Valve. Now Water will be drained out. Check the displays that show “PURGING ON PROBLEM – RELEASE” and “PROCESS OK”. The purging valve will close after the purging time set parameter. If we press Acknowledge during fault condition Feed Pump will remain stop. Only after draining out the water Feed pump will start.
PURGING OFF PROBLEM
Decrease Feed Water Flow rates. Also, keep the Pneumatic Purging Valve open manually by turning the manual operating screw of the Solenoid Valve. If the high level not come continue more than the Purging Fault OFF time Feed Pump will stop. The display will show “PURGING OFF PROBLEM”.
Increase Feed Water flow rate & Keep the Pneumatic Purging valve in auto operation. Ensure that water should reach up to the level sensor. The purging valve will close after the purging time set parameter. If we press Acknowledge during fault condition Feed Pump will restart. Even if the water level is still high & again fault will be generated after the same purging fault OFF timer.
W.F.I CONDUCTIVITY HIGH
Decrease the set parameter value than existing conductivity. The dumping valve will be ON to reject the W.F.I. check on display which will Show. “W.F.I. CONDUCT. HIGH”
