Hydrotest is a process of testing the strength and integrity of a pressure vessel or pipeline.

• Hydrotest involves filling the vessel or pipeline with water and pressurizing it to a specified level.

• The pressure is held for a specified duration to ensure there are no leaks or failures.

• Air volume calculation is used to determine the amount of air needed to pressurize the vessel or pipeline.

• The formula for air volume calcul...read more

A dead weight tester is a device used to calibrate pressure gauges by applying known weights to a piston.

• Consists of a piston-cylinder assembly and a set of calibrated weights

• Weights are placed on the piston to generate a known pressure

• Pressure generated is compared to the reading on the gauge being calibrated

• Used for high-precision calibration of pressure gauges

• Commonly used in industries such as oil and gas, aerospac...read more

Common welding defects include porosity, undercutting, and lack of fusion. Acceptance criteria vary based on the type of defect.

• Porosity: voids or gas pockets in the weld. Acceptance criteria depend on the size and location of the porosity.

• Undercutting: groove in the base metal near the weld. Acceptance criteria depend on the depth and length of the undercut.

• Lack of fusion: incomplete bonding between the weld and base ...read more
