Pressure controlled.
Integrity confirmed.
Abrican provides engineered hydrostatic testing support for pipelines, process piping and pressure equipment—helping clients verify strength, leak tightness and readiness for service.
Integrity assuranceConfidence before
Confidence before
the system goes live.
Hydrotesting uses an approved incompressible test fluid, normally water, to verify a system at a defined pressure and hold period. Air is removed before pressurization, performance is monitored throughout the test, and the system is inspected for leakage or abnormal response.
Each scope is executed against the client-approved test pack, applicable engineering requirements and the defined safe operating limits of the system.
Testing applicationsFrom construction
From construction
to return to service.
Structured testing support across new-build, maintenance, repair and pre-commissioning programs.
Process piping
Controlled testing of piping networks, welds, flanges and mechanical connections before service.
Pressure equipment
Hydrostatic test support for pressure vessels, tanks and associated assemblies within approved limits.
Shutdowns & repairs
Post-maintenance validation to support the safe return of repaired or inspected equipment to operation.
Pre-commissioning
Documented test execution as part of construction completion and system handover programs.
Integrity verification
Planned testing to confirm continued leak tightness and suitability against the approved engineering basis.
Controlled test processOne disciplined sequence.
One disciplined sequence.
Clear, traceable results.
The exact pressure, hold time, acceptance criteria and test boundaries are defined by the approved procedure—not assumed from a generic percentage of design pressure.
Review
Confirm drawings, boundaries, test pressure, medium and acceptance criteria.
Prepare
Isolate the system, verify connections and establish controlled work zones.
Fill & vent
Introduce test fluid progressively and remove trapped air from high points.
Pressurize
Raise pressure in controlled stages while monitoring system response.
Hold & inspect
Maintain the approved pressure and check for leakage or abnormal behavior.
Close out
Depressurize safely, drain responsibly and issue documented test results.
Equipment and documentationAccurate measurement.
Accurate measurement.
Reliable evidence.
Abrican configures each test spread to the system volume, pressure range, location and recording requirements. Calibration validity and equipment condition are verified before use.
