MCAA Guide to Pressure Testing Safety
The keys to safe pressure testing are knowing the potential hazards and understanding how to eliminate them, or at least how to minimize them as much as possible. Hydrostatic testing is the preferred method of testing because it generates considerably less stored energy and thus involves less risk to workers. In this type of
