Water Pressure Testing Checklist

Preparation

  1. Verify the System Requirements:

    • Check the manufacturer’s or engineer’s specifications for the required pressure test values.
    • Ensure that the system components, such as valves, pipes, and fixtures, are correctly installed and secure.

  2. Obtain Necessary Permits:

    • Confirm that you have any required permits to perform water pressure testing in your area.

  3. Gather Tools and Equipment:

    • Pressure gauge (calibrated and in good working condition)
    • Test plugs, caps, or stoppers for closing pipe ends
    • Pump (if required for the system)
    • Hoses for connecting equipment
    • Safety equipment (gloves, goggles, etc.)

  4. Check for Leaks in the System:

    • Ensure all connections are tightened and the system is ready to be pressurized.

System Isolation

  1. Isolate the System:

    • Close all valves or isolation points that are not part of the test.
    • If testing a sub-section of the system, ensure the rest of the system is not pressurized.

  2. Fill the System with Water:

    • Purge air from the system by fully opening air release valves.
    • Make sure the system is filled with clean water (or as specified for the test).

Pressure Test

  1. Connect the Pressure Gauge:

    • Attach the pressure gauge at the lowest point of the system or the point of the test.

  2. Pressurize the System:

    • Gradually introduce water or air into the system to the required pressure. Do this slowly to avoid damaging components.
    • Record the starting pressure.

  3. Hold the Pressure:

    • Keep the pressure stable for the required duration (e.g., 30 minutes, 1 hour) as per industry standards or specifications.
    • Ensure the system remains at the required test pressure.

Monitoring and Inspection

  1. Check for Pressure Drop:

    • Monitor the pressure gauge to ensure the pressure remains stable.
    • Any significant drop indicates a leak or defect in the system.

  2. Inspect All Fittings and Connections:

    • Visually check all pipe joints, valves, and fittings for signs of leaks.
    • Listen for any hissing sounds or check for damp spots.

  3. Test Results:

    • Record the final pressure and compare it to the initial pressure.
    • If there’s a pressure drop, identify and repair the leaks before retesting.

Post-Test

  1. Depressurize the System:

    • Slowly depressurize the system once testing is complete, making sure to open valves carefully to prevent pressure surges.

  2. Record Results:

    • Document the test pressure, test duration, and any leaks found (including the location, if applicable).
    • Include any corrective actions taken.

  3. System Restoration:

    • Restore the system by removing test plugs, caps, or any temporary equipment used during the test.
    • Open any isolation valves that were closed during the test.

  4. Cleanup:

    • Remove all testing equipment and check for any tools left behind.
    • Ensure the area is safe and dry, and dispose of any waste materials properly.
