Hydrostatic pressure testing is the most widely used method of verifying the safety and integrity of pressure vessels and pipelines. By filling the vessel with water and applying pressure, leaks, flaws, or structural weaknesses can be identified before the system goes into service. Bestline does not carry out hydrostatic testing, but we provide the equipment required to make it possible.
Engineered for Testing Applications
High pressure positive displacement pumps are ideal for hydrostatic testing because they deliver a constant flow regardless of system pressure. This means test pressure can be reached and maintained reliably for the required duration. Cat Pumps offers models rated up to 690 bar with flow rates to match a wide range of applications. Options are available in brass, nickel aluminium bronze, 304 stainless, 316 stainless, and duplex stainless steel to handle diverse environments and fluids.
