Dear Experts,

During a hydrostatic test, we observed a gradual pressure drop of approximately 0.7 bar in a 2-inch pipe with a length of 31 meters. The test pressure was 12.5 bar. This issue has occurred in multiple tests.

We request your explanation regarding the relationship between pressure and temperature, and how temperature variations can affect hydrotest results.Also, we seek clarification on the acceptable pressure drop limits considering potential temperature changes during the test.

Thank you for your support.


Regards,

Vinoth G

With increase in temperature fluid expands causing pressure increase .  Also significant pressure variation can be expected when fluid is compressible. Can you please specify about  fluid and test temperature?
