[MW:25974] Re: 12688] Cross country pipeline hydro test

Dear Mr Kumar,

Would you please elaborate why 50 km is stipulated as the restriction according B31.8? Or did I get it wrong?

Correct me if I'm wrong, ASME B31.8 does not restrict the hydrotest length by number, does it?

Regards

Hi,

Good morning to all,

 

1.      Because of safety parameters HT will be done after back filling – as the pipe passes in public areas also, and keeping the excavated sections to open up to HT is also risk, so there is no other option except to do HT after back filling.

2.      Leakage water will come to ground and we can identify – however in water pipe lines – some extent of leakage is acceptable for small leakages (as per CODE), and heavy leakages will be identified by water on the ground.

For oil& Gas, LPG, other services lines so many other options are their to detect(75% of the cases it will be identified in pigging only)

 

3.      Maximum length depends up on service of the line, geographical conditions, site conditions, elevation differences, water availability and disposal situation however maximum length restriction are their in respect codes ex ASME B 31.8 – for oil & gas 50KM is maximum – and this will be given in client spec also.

 

Thanks and Regards................?

Dear All,

In Cross country pipeline

1) Why hydro test is carried out after covering / back filling the complete pipeline?

2) In case of seepage, we' ll get pressure drop on gauges,but how to detect the location of leak?

3) What is the maximum length of pipeline that can be hydro tested at a time?

Thanx & Regds,

PSP
