    HYDRO & PNEUMATIC TEST PROCEDURE


    SCOPE

    This procedure covers the method statements for hydropneumatric testing, &
    record keeping of tank as per contract specification and API 650 11TH
    editions. & GA Drawings.

    PURPOSE
    The purpose of this procedure is provide a guide line to carry out the Hydro
    pneumatic test to check soundness of vertical & horizontal joints of tank.

    3. REFERENCE CODE
    1. API-650 (Latest edition) 7.3.4 & 8.6 Eleventh edition
    2. As Per Approved Drawing / Client Specification.

    4. Tank is mechanically i.e., all hot work related to tank is completed. All document
    related to NDT shall be checked foe completion. Transparent water tube shall be
    connected to level indicator nozzle to monitor water level inside the tank.

    Suitable level marker shall be marked equidistance on 1st shell course at 8 place on the
    Circumference to monitor the settlement of tank at different stage of filling. These
    marking shall be done after transferring from master level already marked nearby the
    foundation. Roof manhole nozzle shall be kept open during filling and draining of tank.
    Shell elevation measurement shall be as per 7.3.6.5(1) of API 650 11th editions.

    Water filling in tank is done in 4 stages i.e., 25%, 50%, 75%, 100. After each stage of
    water filling load stabilization period for 4 hrs shall be observed. While draining it shall
    be 50% level and 4hrs stabilization period shall be maintained and next stage tank shall
    be emptied. Holding time when the tank is 100% full shall be 24hrs.

    After holding time is cleared roof pneumatic test shall be carried out by closing all roof
    nozzle except one where 2 no’s of manometer shall be fixed. Now roof is pressurized
    through another nozzle. When manometer water level difference is 30mm water
    column, soap solution shall be applied in all roof plate weld joint for checking any
    leakage.

    Following procedure shall be adopted during filling and dewatering of Tank.

    1. Before starting of water filling, level shall be recorded.


    2. Maximum filling rate of water shall be as per clause no 7.3.6.5 (API 650 11th Ed) &
    same shall be demonstrated prior to water fill up.
    3. Six sets of settlement reading required internal as per 7.3.6.5 clause no of API 650
    11th editions.
    4. Water is filled upto 25% of total height than filling is stopped.
    5. Level reading is taken on the level marker as marked earlier on the tank. Settlement
    shall be within acceptable limit. Next filling shall start after 4 hrs gap.
    6. Like wise next higher level sat 50%, 75%, & 100% filling is done and level reading is
    recorded. Necessary stabilization period shall be maintained.
    7. In a similar manner dewatering shall be started. Tank dewatering is done upto 50%
    height. Settlement reading is taken and recorded.
    8. Lastly tank is emptied and final settlement reading is recorded.
    9. Manhole blind is opened and tank inside is cleaned.
    10. Calibration of tank shall be done before dewatering

    5. PERSONAL
    The personnel shall be competent and have through knowledge in performing
    this method.

    6. CLEANING
    After test the area shall be thoroughly cleaned for the further activities.

    7. INSPECTION REPORT
    The test shall be carried out in presence of the UIPL/DCW Engineer.
    Upon satisfactory inspection, & report shall be prepared in approved format.

    8. SAFETY
    Safety shall be followed as per HSE specification during test.
