Course Description
The final testing before the blasting and painting of pressure equipment is normally the Proof Pressure or Leak Test.
Since pressure tests are conducted above the normal maximum allowable working pressure, they shall be carried out under controlled conditions, with appropriate safety precautions. Therefore the development of special procedures are essential.
Different international codes and standards require different approaches.
Piping systems even require to calculate two pressures, the system pressure and the max. pressure of connecting flanges.
Under some circumstances Hydrotests might be replaced by a Pneumatic pressure test.
In order to carry out the pneumatic pressure test it might be necessary to calculate the stored energy and convert it to equivalent pounds of TNT.
This course enables the participants to develop applicable pressure test procedures and carry out the pressure test in accordance to code requirements.

IDC was incorporated in 1996 by Helen Seibt who has a dream – to combine her love of teaching with her desire to run her own business. Started humbly as a language centre serving the local communities, its operation was hit during the economic downturn in Malaysia in 1997.
Our founder was challenged with its first dilemma whether to alter, or to remain its core business in order to stay in the business world. A tough decision was made to venture into an untapped area of Technical Trainings for the Oil & Gas industry at that time. At that point of time, IDC Language & Training House took on a new name as IDC Training House – which has grown into a reputable Training Provider today, serving clients in more than 44 countries.
