The Applied Technical Services Family of Companies (FoC) is a leader among hydrostatic testing companies. Pressurized systems, such as pipelines, boilers, and tanks, are responsible for many of the modern luxuries consumers enjoy in their daily lives. Whether they’re used for power generation, manufacturing, or chemical processing, pressurized systems are used daily in residential, commercial, and industrial environments. We provide hydrostatic tests, ensuring that your pressurized equipment is compliant and safe.
What is Hydrostatic Testing?
Hydrostatic testing is a critical pressure‑based evaluation technique that confirms the durability, safety, and structural integrity of equipment designed to hold liquids or gases under demanding conditions. During a hydrostatic test, technicians fill a component with an incompressible fluid, such as water, and pressurize it to reveal leaks and weaknesses that may go undetected during a visual inspection. Hydrostatic tests are a critical part of the routine maintenance, post-repair verification, and product qualification processes. Hydrostatic tests are commonly used to evaluate the following:
- Piping systems, including those used for oil, gas, water, and chemicals
- Pressure vessels, such as boilers, storage tanks, and heat exchangers
- Gas cylinders and fire extinguishers
Hydrostatic testing is used in key industries, including:
- Power generation
- Chemical processing
- Oil and Gas
- Manufacturing
