Hydrostatic Test Pressure Calculation

This document summarizes the results of strength and leak testing on a pipeline section. It provides details on the pipe dimensions, test pressures and temperatures, calculated and actual water volumes, and analysis of pressure changes. The test was determined to pass as the unaccountable pressure loss was within the allowable limit of 0.3 bar.

Avg. Wall Thickness t = 11.106 mm


Avg. Inner Radius Ri = 150.844 mm
Avg. Volume (per mtr) Vavg = 0.071 m3
Total Length of the Section Lt = 441.545 mtr
Total Volume of the Section Vt = 31.547 m3

The Ratio Ri /Ti = 13.583


AIR VOLUME CALCULATION

...return to HT Sec. Intro

Pipe Temp. ∆TP = 28.480 oC

Pressure (Dead Weight) P 117.000 Bar


Dimensional Coefficient K = 1.020 (for longitudinally welded pipe)
Isothermal Compressibility A = 43.500
Inner Pipe Radius (Avg.) Ri = 155.550 mm
Pipe Thickness (Avg.) t = 6.400 mm
Total Vol. of Section Vt = 1550.171 m3
Change of Pressure ∆P = 0.5 Bar

Theoretical Vol. of Water VP = (0.884 Ri / t + A) 10-6 ∙ Vt ∙ ∆P ∙ K


= 0.051 cubic meter (m3); or
= 51.377 Liters

Actual Vol. of Water VA = 690.000 Liters

Air Volume Ratio = Actual Vol. of Water VA / Theoretical Vol. of Water VP


= 13.430 (Which is greater than 1.02)

Air Volume Ratio is not Accepted…!!!

Final Pipe Wall Temp. Tf = 28.960 oC

Change of Temperature ∆T = 0.170 oC
Change of Pressure ∆P = 0.451 Bar

Accountable Pressure Change Due to Change of Temperature ∆Pt = B*∆T/ ((0.884 Ri / t) + A)


= 0.838 bar

Unaccountable Pressure Loss = ∆P - ∆Pt

= -0.387 Which is less than or equal to 0.3
