Water as a testing medium

[RAJKUMAR96]

Can any one please advise me whether water can be used as a testing medium in the fuel pipelines , If so please help me with the exact standards and codes.

B31.4 and 8 require hydrotesting.

Learn from the mistakes of others. You don't have time to make them all yourself.

And that is what you call hydrotesting.

 

[LittleInch]

Yes it can.

All known piping and pipeline codes require it.

My motto: Learn something new every day

Also: There's usually a good reason why everyone does it that way

In some instances t could also mean testing with a relatively noncompressible liquid, such as diesel, but as long as you have water available and other "things" are compatible, you should use it. Dry as may be necessary, or not, afterwards.
