Course overview
Dive into the fundamental principles of hydrostatic testing with our self-paced course, "Introduction to Hydrostatic Testing."
This beginner-level course investigates the assessment of pipeline defect stability under hoop stress conditions, covering essential topics such as internal pressure control, validation of maximum allowable operating pressure in compliance with federal regulations, pipeline re-qualification following class location changes, determination of re-assessment intervals, validation of pipeline integrity post-pressure excursions exceeding MAOP, and the practical application of hydrostatic field testing techniques, including considerations of temperature, volume, and pressure control (TVC).
Gain a solid foundation in hydrostatic testing practices that are vital for ensuring pipeline safety and reliability.
