blinded off.
3.3. Prior to commence of hydrostatic test, a benchmark elevation shall be established at a
fixed point. The fixed point shall be on foundation or other suitable object not susceptible
to changes in elevation.
3.4. All shell and roof nozzles shall be blinded off with the exception of those nozzles require
valves or roof venting devices. Roof venting devices shall be installed and operating prior to
beginning the test. All blinds and valves must be inspected periodically throughout the
duration of the hydrostatic test to do assure that no leakage.
3.5. All survey equipment used during the test shall be calibrated prior to the test. Use the same
equipment throughout the test is recommended.
3.6. Install safety sign warning of hazards in all potential problem location prior start of work.

4. HYDROSTATIC TEST PROCEDURE

4.1 The top of tank is vented to atmosphere. The tank will be filled with water to require level /
design capacity. The water will be filled into the tank through inlet nozzle.
4.2 The water & equipment for hydrostatic test will be supplies by Petrogas.
4.3 Water for hydrotest shall be meet requirement in API 650 standard, water treatment is
required when in the quality is not comply with requirement standard, PT. Petrogas
responsible for treatment of the water.
4.4 The rate at which water is introduced into tank shall be 1 foot of depth per hour but not
more than 3 feet of depth per hour.
4.5 NDE shall be completed prior Hydrostatic test perfomed.

4.6. When the water level is equal to design capacity, it shall be added 50 mm water level more
than design capacity.
4.7. Check the settlements of foundation during water filling on every stage. To measure
decreasing of foundation refer to survey brackets around bottom tank. PT. GKP shall provide
the surveyor.
4.8. Holding time when full of water is 1 x 24 hours to permit close visual inspections
of all joints in wall of tank and all welding around manhole, nozzles and other connections
shall be in accordance with owner’s specification.
