Pressure Testing
We have extensive experience in pressure testing applications in a diverse range of industries at a broad range of pressure levels. To complement our range of pipeline testing pumps we have also packaged high volume, pre-fill centrifugal pumpsets operating at 20 bar. Others systems supplied include an 8 lpm at 1750 bar (25,000 psi) test rig to a specialist hose / umbilical manufacturer in Aberdeen, Scotland for the oil & gas industry.
In recent times several bespoke pressure testing / flushing systems have been supplied to oil & gas support companies for use aboard pipe lay support vessels (PLSV) which lay flexible flowlines to the seabed in upto 2000m depth. These systems use seawater with chemical additives to test pipelines at upto 517 bar (7,500 psi) whilst recording test pressure, flowrate & chemical dosing rate.

For the same client base we have also supplied flushing / hydrostatic systems, pumping glycol at 690 bar (10,000 psi) to flush / test umbilicals before connection to subsea control valves.
If you want to discuss pressure testing control valves / pump conversion kits for existing water jetting systems or turnkey bespoke systems contact Hughes Pumps.
