The Applied Technical Services Family of Companies (ATS FoC) provides data center pressure testing to assess the safety of pressure vessels and pipelines. Data centers depend on precise environmental controls and complex piping systems. Our services help maintain the integrity of these systems, which are essential for reliable operation.
How is Pressure Testing Used in Data Centers?
Pressure testing is a process in which controlled pressure is applied to containment systems and piping to assess their airtightness and mechanical integrity. Data center pressure testing confirms the system’s soundness and determines its safe operating limits. Airtightness means that no air or gas can escape, while structural integrity refers to the system’s ability to withstand pressure without failing.
Construction
During construction, pressure testing detects hidden gaps and defects, confirming system reliability and durability. It also verifies compliance with safety and building code requirements.
Pre-commisioning
During pre-commissioning, testing confirms the effectiveness of clean-agent fire suppression and cooling systems, ensuring they protect critical IT infrastructure as intended.
About Our Data Center Pressure Testing Services
Our ISO/IEC 17025-accredited pressure testing lab helps prevent leaks and performance issues by verifying the integrity of pipes and vessels before commissioning. We use calibrated instruments and established procedures to document results and provide clients with the information needed to assess system viability. We evaluate various data center components, including but not limited to:
- Chilled water systems
- Heat exchangers
- Fire-suppression systems
- Pressure vessels
- Pumps
ATS evaluates and inspects pressure vessels according to the following applicable standards:
- API 510
- API 572
- API 620
- ASME Sec VIII
Our pressure testing services reduce risk, streamline commissioning, and help maintain a stable, efficient environment for mission-critical data center infrastructures.
How Pressure Testing Protects Critical IT Hardware
Data centers must maintain optimal conditions to prevent server overheating and hardware failure. Pressure testing confirms the integrity and limits of piping networks, verifying their ability to function as intended. These tests help technicians detect hidden flaws, leaks, or weak joints before commissioning. Damaged or flawed pipes can compromise system efficiency and jeopardize climate control or emergency safeguards. Addressing these vulnerabilities protects IT infrastructure, maximizes uptime, and preserves sensitive hardware.
