pressure test

A pressure test is a procedure used to check the integrity of a system, such as pipes, tanks, or pipelines, by filling it with a controlled amount of pressurized fluid, usually air or water. This test helps identify leaks, weaknesses, or cracks that could cause failure during operation. The system is pressurized to a level higher than normal working conditions, and then monitored for pressure loss or visual signs of leakage. Pressure testing ensures safety, reliability, and compliance with standards before the system is put into service.
