At what percent of system deadhead pressure will pipelines be tested during the hydrostatic test?

During a hydrostatic test of pipelines, the testing is conducted at a specific pressure to ensure the integrity and safety of the system. The correct choice, which involves testing at 150 percent of the system's deadhead pressure, is grounded in industry standards and safety protocols.

Testing at 150 percent of the deadhead pressure serves several important purposes. This elevated pressure helps to identify any weaknesses or flaws in the pipeline that may not be apparent under normal operating conditions. It is a precautionary measure to account for any potential pressure surges that could occur in the system during regular use. By conducting the hydrostatic test at this increased pressure, operators are able to verify that the pipelines can safely handle stresses that exceed typical operational levels without experiencing leaks or failures.

Overall, this testing method ensures the reliability and longevity of the pipeline infrastructure, confirming that it meets safety regulations and performs as expected during operational scenarios.
