Pressure Testing
Pressure testing verifies the integrity and leak resistance of pressure-containing components and assemblies under defined test conditions. It is widely used for piping systems, tanks, pressure vessels, valves, and industrial equipment requiring documented pressure performance and safety verification.

Manufacturing overview
Pressure testing applies controlled internal or external pressure to assess the integrity of a component or assembled system.
Common methods include hydrostatic testing using liquid and pneumatic testing using gas.
Typical applications include pressure vessels, piping assemblies, valves, heat exchangers, hydraulic components, and industrial tanks.
Test selection depends on design pressure, material compatibility, component geometry, applicable code, and safety requirements.
Hydrostatic testing is frequently preferred where practical because liquids generally store less compressive energy than gases.
Pneumatic testing requires additional precautions due to the stored energy associated with compressed gas.
Buyers should specify design pressure, test pressure, test medium, holding duration, acceptance criteria, quantity, and applicable standard.
Inspection records should include test conditions, calibrated instruments, observed results, and conformity status.
