use water with Chloride content less than
 25 ppm
use potable water
do water analysis

Dear , 
As follow saudi aramco standard and procedure ,  saes-a-004, saes-l-150, following are my observations

Water used for hydro testing of stainless steel piping systems shall have chloride content value less than 50ppm, and PH value should be 7.5, ±.5.

Water used for any part of the hydro testing or subsequent lay-up shall have a sulfate reducing bacteria (SRB) count of 10³ per ml or less

When the equipment contact time with hydrotest water may exceed 14 days, an approved oxygen scavenger shall be added to the hydrostatic test water.

For stainless-steel piping, the duration of the hydro testing (using water with less than 50 ppm of chlorides), flushing and draining-drying sequence shall be kept as short as possible, in order to reduce the possibility of chloride attack. Water testing certificate will be made available for each hydro test

regards 

Dhaneesh
