Types of Pressure Testing Pump
 
 

Hydrostatic Testing Pump

Hydrostatic testing Pump utilizes water or another liquid as the testing medium. It is commonly used for testing piping systems, pressure vessels, and other components that are designed to handle liquids. The working principle involves applying hydraulic pressure to the test object, gradually increasing the pressure until it reaches the desired test pressure or until a failure occurs.

 
 
 

Air Pressure Testing Pump

Air pressure testing Pumps utilize compressed air as the testing medium. They are commonly used for testing components that are designed to handle compressed air, such as pneumatic systems, valves, and actuators. The working principle involves applying pneumatic pressure to the test object, gradually increasing the pressure until it reaches the desired test pressure or until a failure occurs.

 
 
 

Burst Pressure Testing Pump

Burst pressure testing Pumps are designed to determine the maximum pressure a component can withstand before failing. They are commonly used for testing components that are subjected to extreme pressure conditions, such as hydraulic hoses, pressure vessels, and safety valves.

Hydrostatic Test for Boilers
Hydro testing a boiler is one approach to ensure that the tubes, flanges, fittings, and connections are properly sealed. On new boilers or after any major pressure vessel work, this test is performed. A hydro pump is used to help fill the boiler with water to start the test. The water is poured into the vessel to 1.5 times the maximum permitted working pressure (MAWP).


Pipe manufacturers
Pipes of various lengths will be hydrostatically tested at commercial pipe manufacturing factories, particularly those supplied to government organisations. They must demonstrate that each pipe fits specifications and will not fail in important applications such as naval defence vessels.


Cooling systems
A/C or refrigeration cylinders or coils are routinely checked, especially in buildings where climate control is vital, such as hospitals. Such types of refrigerants are even used in cooling electronics in industrial electrical enclosures, as well as military vehicles operating in hot climates. Cooling systems are also used in municipal vehicles such as city buses, and some state Departments of Transportation may demand frequent testing to guarantee safety and good operation.


Fire hoses
Critical applications such as fire hoses must be thoroughly tested to guarantee that they do not rupture or fail while in use. They're usually put through their paces before being mounted on fire trucks or sent to fire stations. Inspectors will fill hoses with fluid and pressurise them to a minimum of 300 PSI, as specified by the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA).


Sprinkler systems
Many sprinkler systems are required by code to be tested on a regular basis to guarantee that they can sustain pressure and work properly when activated. A pump is connected to the main sprinkler system line and inflated to 250 PSI for at least 15 minutes.

 

 
The Main Components Of Pressure Testing Pump
 
1. The pump

Most hydrostatic test pumps rely on piston- or plunger-type pumps that work best with pressurized water supplies. In order to use them with a non-pressurized water source, starting a gravity feed-essentially, using gravity as the pressure source needed to flow water into the pump-is typically enough to create positive flow. Simply place the pump at a lower elevation than the container holding the supply of water, turn it on with the priming valve open, and let gravity do its work.

2. The power source

Hydrostatic test pump motors generally rely on three main power sources: battery power, plug-in electric, and gas. Motor size, or horsepower, is determined by the amount of pressure and volume required. Here's a word to the wise: For plug-in electric and battery-powered pumps, don't forget to check whether the power source meets the motor's electrical requirements. That includes any voltage, phase, hertz, and amperage requirements noted by the manufacturer. It's also important to check whether the pump's parts have enough oil and any other needed fluids before testing begins, including the engine crankcase, gear reduction, and gas tanks.

3. Bypass/pressure regulator

Fire protection systems-especially small ones-can pressurize very quickly. To avoid damage, some pumps, include pressure regulators that keep pressure in check without minute-by-minute monitoring. Regulators can be preset to close off the water supply after detecting that the outlet pressure has hit a specific number. A full-flow bypass then diverts water directed at the outlet hose back into the pump itself.

4. The gauge

Hydrostatic test pumps include a gauge that indicates the pressure supplied to the system. Read this carefully: that's different from system pressure, which is measured by a separate gauge. A test pump's gauge must be capable of reading up to two times the maximum pump pressure. Put simply, if the pump is rated for 300 psi, the gauge must be able to read at least 600 psi. Generally, the middle of the scale on the gauge offers the most accurate readings.

5. Pump hoses and electrical cords

Test pumps come equipped with electrical cords and hoses that provide the flexibility needed to connect to a fire protection system during testing. Long lengths of cable stretch over long distances, making it easier to connect to a battery in a parked vehicle. Other electric pumps come with shorter lengths of cord-most often, six feet-that can be combined with standard extension cords if needed.

 

How Does Pressure Testing Pump Work in a Home's Sewer System

 

 

Trees are always searching for reliable sources of water. They send their roots in every direction to find moisture. Sewer pipes are an attractive source. The tree sends microscopic root tendrils into the tiniest opening. If it finds a place to get inside, the root will start drawing moisture from that source. This triggers the root to grow bigger, which forces the opening to become larger. In time, the roots can crack the pipe and cause it to break.


Pressure testing helps plumbers find these hidden leaks. It starts by finding the drain line's cleanout. The plumber inserts an inflatable test ball into the cleanout. The ball gets inflated to block the sewer line, usually close to the foundation's edge.


With the main sewer line blocked, the plumber fills it with water, up to the slab's top edge. Then, it's a matter of waiting. The plumber waits to see if the water level starts to drop. If it does, there's a leak under the building's slab.


The next step is to find out where the leak is. One option is to feed a video camera down into the sub-slab pipes to find the location of the leak. It also offers the ability to inspect the general condition of those pipes.


Another option is to use inflatable plugs to isolate and test different sections of pipe. The plumber uses the video camera to position the plugs to different points. This makes it possible to isolate and test different sections of the pipe.

 

 
How to Use a Pressure Testing Pump?
 

To use a pressure testing pump, you will need to follow these steps: 

Connecting the pump to the pressure vessel or pipe system
The pump must be connected to the pressure vessel or pipe system in a way that ensures that the pressure is evenly distributed throughout the system. This is typically done by using a pressure gauge to monitor the pressure and adjusting the pump as needed.

 

Filling the pressure vessel or pipe system with water
The pressure vessel or pipe system must be filled with water before the pressure can be increased. This is done to ensure that there are no air pockets in the system, which could cause the pressure to be uneven.

 

Pressurizing the system to the desired PSI

The pressure is gradually increased until it reaches the desired level. The desired level of pressure is typically specified by the manufacturer of the pressure vessel or pipe system.

 

Maintaining the pressure for the specified amount of time
The pressure is then maintained for a specified amount of time. This allows any leaks or weak spots in the system to be detected. The amount of time that the pressure is maintained is typically specified by the manufacturer of the pressure vessel or pipe system.

 

Releasing the pressure and disconnecting the pump
Once the specified amount of time has elapsed, the pressure is released and the pump is disconnected from the pressure vessel or pipe system.

 

 

The Working Principle of Pressure Testing Pump

 

To grasp the intricacies of a pressure testing pump, one must delve into its fundamental working principle, which hinges on the remarkable discovery known as Pascal's law. This law, named after the French mathematician and physicist Blaise Pascal, states that when pressure is applied to a confined fluid, it transmits that pressure undiminished in all directions. This phenomenon forms the bedrock of hydraulic systems and plays a pivotal role in the operation of Pressure Testing Pumps.


When a hydrostatic test is performed, the test pump utilizes this principle to subject various materials or systems to elevated pressures. The process involves filling the object or pipeline with an incompressible fluid, often water, and then gradually increasing the pressure using the test pump. As the pressure mounts, it gets uniformly distributed throughout the fluid and consequently applies equal force to all surfaces within the confined space. This mimics the stress conditions that the material or system would encounter during its regular operation.


The real magic of the pressure testing pump lies in its ability to expose potential vulnerabilities that might otherwise remain concealed. As the pressure builds, any weak points, defects, or imperfections in the material's structure become apparent. These could manifest as leaks, cracks, or deformations that indicate the material's inability to withstand the designated pressures. By detecting these flaws early on, the Pressure Testing Pump ensures that the tested object is safe, reliable, and fit for its intended purpose.


In essence, the working principle of the pressure testing pump is a testament to the interconnectedness of fluid dynamics and mechanics. It capitalizes on the remarkable property of fluids to transmit pressure uniformly, unveiling the hidden characteristics of materials and systems under rigorous stress conditions. Through this principle, pressure testing pumps act as sentinels of safety, providing a safeguard against potential hazards and ensuring that the engineered world stands strong against the forces it encounters.

 

6 Points To Consider While Selecting A Pressure Testing Pump
 

Initial Pressure
Generally, a filling pump is required to provide the water in the pump, for which some pressure is always there. It is a vital point to discuss with the manufacturer.

 

Pressure
It is the most basic selection criteria. You must choose the hydraulic pressure testing pump that has more pressure than you require at the moment, as you may need more pressure in the future. It is advisable to take the pump with 10-20 % more pressure.

 

The Number Of Tests
You can inform the frequency of the tests you need to take, as the manufacturer can suggest to you the right pressure pump for your requirements.

 

The Volume Of The Equipment
You can either inform the flow rate or the volume of the equipment to the pressure testing pump We advise you to inform volume, as you may assume flow rate proportional to the volume of the equipment; which may be found wrong when it comes to large equipment. On the basis of the volume, the manufacturer can suggest you right pressure pump.

 

Efficiency
You need to ensure that you buy the pump with utmost efficiency. These three parameters can help you measure it. Volumetric, mechanical, and overall performance.

 

Time
It is also essential to know how much time you have for developing pressure through the pump. If you have enough time, a smaller pump can be purchased.

What Kind of Materials Can Be Tested by a Pressure Testing Pump?

A wide range of materials can be subjected to pressure testing. These materials include but are not limited to:


Pipelines
Pressure testing pumps are frequently employed to test the integrity of pipelines, whether they are used for transporting water, oil, gas, or other fluids. Ensuring that pipelines can withstand the pressures they are subjected to is paramount to prevent leaks or ruptures.


Pressure Vessels
Pressure vessels, used in various industries to store gases or liquids at high pressures, must undergo rigorous testing to avoid catastrophic failures. Hydrostatic testing helps identify potential flaws in welds, seams, or materials, ensuring that the pressure vessel is fit for operation.

Boilers

In industries such as power generation, hydrostatic testing of boilers is essential to detect any weaknesses that could lead to steam or water leaks, which can have dire consequences in terms of safety and operational efficiency.

Fire Extinguishers

Fire extinguishers are tested using hydrostatic pressure to verify their structural integrity and ability to contain the extinguishing agent under pressure.

Cylinders

Cylinders used in various applications, such as gas storage or hydraulic systems, are also subject to hydrostatic testing to ensure they can withstand the pressures they encounter during their operation.

 

Safety Precautions When Using Pressure Testing Pumps
 

Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)

Operators should always wear appropriate PPE, including safety goggles, hearing protection, gloves, and appropriate clothing. These items are essential for protecting against potential hazards such as high-pressure water spray and noise.

Handling High-Pressure Equipment

 

High-pressure water can be extremely dangerous if it comes into contact with the body. Avoid standing directly in front of hoses or fittings when pressurized and keep body parts away from high-pressure streams. Secure hoses and fittings to prevent sudden bursts or disconnections.

Pressure Control

 

Carefully monitor pressure gauges throughout the testing process. Avoid over-pressurization, which can lead to equipment failure and potential hazards. Follow the recommended pressure limits for the specific test being conducted.

Avoiding Pinch Points

Be cautious around moving parts of the test pump, especially if it has mechanical components. Ensure that hoses are properly routed and secured to prevent pinching, which can lead to damage or rupture.

Proper Ventilation

If testing indoors or in confined spaces, ensure adequate ventilation to disperse any fumes or vapors that may be present. Avoid working in areas with poor air circulation, as this can lead to health and safety risks.

Emergency Procedures

Operators should be trained in emergency procedures, including how to quickly shut down the pump and release pressure in case of an emergency. First aid kits and medical assistance protocols should be readily available in case of injuries.

Ultimate FAQ Guide to Pressure Testing Pump
 
 

Q: How does a pressure test pump work?

A: Basically, all hydrostatic test pumps work the same: pumping water into a piping system at higher-than-normal pressure to ensure the system is drip-free and there's minimal risk of failure.

Q: How do you test a water pressure pump?

A: And here is how to carry out the test:
Place the measuring jug under the tap.
Then, turn the tap on full.
Time how long it will take for the jug to fill up.
If it takes more than 6 seconds to fill it up, then the water pressure is low.

Q: Can you pressure test through a pump?

A: A hydrostatic test is when you use a hydrostatic pump and apply pressure to a vessel to verify the integrity of the system. This can determine the maximum pressure of the system, the safety margin of the vessel as well as the overall performance of the component.

Q: How much pressure should my water pump have?

A: Normal psi for a home pipe system is between 30 and 80 psi. While you don't want the psi to be too low, it violates code to be above 80. Instead, you should aim for a psi that's between 60 and 70.

Q: How do you test pump flow?

A: Install the flow meter in the pressure line off the pump. Make sure the shut off on the Flow meter is all the way open. If the flow meter is installed before the relief cartridge, DO NOT exceed the system pressure setting to avoid damage to the pump. Reinstall the plug in the filter housing.

Q: Is pressure testing necessary?

A: Air tightness testing is a mandatory requirement of Part L of the building regulations for a new build property, whether residential or commercial. All new build buildings must be tested.

Q: What causes a pressure test to fail?

A: Use of improper fittings, misalignments, rolled or cut gaskets, etc. result in inadequate repairs or modifications, and cause pressure testing failures. Carefully inspect all parts of the piping system that will be included in the test before beginning. Pay especially close attention to joints and connections.

Q: How do you size a pressure pump?

A: In pump sizing, two factors are needed to select a pump: flow and pressure. Flow is generally measured in gallons per minute (gpm). The max instantaneous flow that will be entering the pump's basin needs to be determined so that a pump can be selected to efficiently maintain the system.

Q: How do I choose a pressure pump?

A: Key features you should keep in mind when choosing a high pressure pump are the rating, size and conditions of your work. Before purchasing your pump check that it is designed to work with the flow, pressure, inlet conditions, temperature, duty cycle and liquid compatibility of your job.

Q: How do you test pump resistance?

A: Use your multi-meter across the pump terminals to test that 230-250 volts are present when the heating is set to on. Set multimeter on ohms scale for resistance readings, across L N at pump terminals: less than 100 ohms = replace pump. No resistance/infinity = replace pump.

Q: What is too much pressure in a water pump?

A: Pressures higher than 60 psi can damage your pipes, fittings, and switches. This damage can lead to plumbing failure and costly leaks. If the pressure is set at 80 psi, it's very possible the pump will be unable to reach the cut-off pressure. By the same token, never set the cut-off setting below 20 psi.

Q: Is 20 psi enough water pressure?

A: Residential water pressure tends to range between 45 and 80 psi (pounds per square inch). Anything below 40 psi is considered low and anything below 30 psi is considered too low; the minimum pressure required by most codes is 20 psi. Pressures above 80 psi are too high.

Q: How do you calculate head pressure?

A: The pressure head is defined by H=p/γ+z, where p is the pressure, γ is the fluid specific weight, and z is a vertical coordinate, positive upwards.

Q: What are the risks of pressure testing?

A: The two main hazards during pressure testing are the formation of missiles and the generation of a shock wave (a pressure wave which moves at supersonic speeds) following failure of some part of the system.

Q: What is the safe distance for pressure testing?

A: For hydrotesting only, a minimum distance of 50 feet should be maintained between facilities that are being tested and any person, whether it be the public or the personnel conducting the test.

Q: How long should a pressure test take?

A: Apply pressure gradually. Do not exceed the maximum allowed system pressure. Ensure that the piping holds test pressure for 15 minutes at a minimum.

Q: How do I choose a pump motor size?

A: Then, use the following formula to calculate the appropriate motor size: hp x 3.14 = rpm. For example, if a pump requires 2 hp and you want it to operate at 700 rpm, then the motor size would be 2 x 3.14 = 6.14 hp and the rpm would be 700/6.14 = 100 rpm.

Q: Which pump gives highest pressure?

A: The high-pressure pump is a centrifugal pump with a head of between 200 and 1200 m, which is used, for example, in pressure booster systems, Low-pressure, medium-pressure or super-pressure pumps are used for other areas of application.

Q: What is the difference between pressure pump and water pump?

A: The speed of the water pump is different, the specific speed of the high-pressure pump is relatively small; the head is different, the head of the high-pressure pump is higher at the same flow rate; the material of the pump body and the shaft is different; the volume of the high-pressure pump is larger.

Q: How does a pressure test pump work?

A: Basically, all hydrostatic test pumps work the same: pumping water into a piping system at higher-than-normal pressure to ensure the system is drip-free and there's minimal risk of failure.
