A hydrostatic test is a way in which pressure vessels such as pipelines, plumbing, gas cylinders, boilers and fuel tanks can be tested for strength and leaks. The test involves filling the vessel or pipe system with a liquid, usually water, which may be dyed to aid in visual leak detection, and pressurization of the vessel to the specified test ...
A hydrostatic test involves pressurising the cylinder to its test pressure (usually 5/3 or 3/2 of the working pressure) and measuring its volume before and after the test. A permanent increase in volume above the tolerated level means the cylinder fails the test and must be permanently removed from service. [3]: sect. 5.7.3
In the hydrostatic test, a vessel is filled with a nearly incompressible liquid – usually water or oil – and examined for leaks or permanent changes in shape. The test pressure is always considerably higher than the operating pressure to give a margin for safety, typically 150% of the operating pressure.
p is the hydrostatic pressure (Pa), ρ is the fluid density (kg/m 3), g is gravitational acceleration (m/s 2), z is the height (parallel to the direction of gravity) of the test area (m), 0 is the height of the zero reference point of the pressure (m) p_0 is the hydrostatic pressure field (Pa) along x and y at the zero reference point
A leak appearing within an analytic region (a rule added to the camera) is immediately analyzed for its attributes, including thermal temperature, size, and behaviour (e.g. spraying, pooling, spilling). When a leak is determined to be valid based on set parameters, an alarm notification with leak video is generated and sent to a monitoring station.
A tracer-gas leak testing method is a nondestructive testing method that detects gas leaks.A variety of methods with different sensitivities exist. Tracer-gas leak testing is used in the petrochemical industry, the automotive industry, the construction industry [1] and in the manufacture of semiconductors, among other uses.

To determine formation strength and integrity, a Leak Off Test (LOT) or a Formation Integrity Test (FIT) may be performed. The FIT is: a method of checking the cement seal between the casing and the formation. The LOT determines the pressure and/or fluid weight the test zone below the casing can sustain.
