Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 DEF
[The] filling [of] a pipeline or tank with water underpressure to test for tensile strength, its ability to hold a certain pressure without rupturing. Water is used for testing because it is non-compressible so if the pipe or tank does rupture there is no potentially dangerous expansion of the water as would be the case if a gas under very high pressure were used. 1, record 1, English, - hydrostatic%20testing

L’épreuve hydraulique est réalisée en une ou plusieurs sections. Le C.P.S. [cahier des prescriptions spéciales] indique les pressions maximales et minimales à obtenir le long du tracé ainsi que la durée de l’épreuve; pour un gazoduc, l’épreuve consiste à maintenir la pression par pompage si nécessaire; pour un oléoduc, l’épreuve consiste à vérifier la résistance et l’étanchéité en contrôlant que la pression reste constante, compte tenu de la température de l’eau. 8, record 1, French, - %C3%A9preuve%20hydraulique
