Test pressure factors and hold times come from the governing code, customer specification or your procedure. Pneumatic tests store far more energy than hydrostatic tests and need a safety review. This template is a record, not a procedure.

How to complete the record

Identify the item and serial number, then enter the medium, design pressure, test pressure and hold time from the governing procedure. Write the gauge ID and its calibration due date. During the test, log pressure and observations at the start, mid and end of the hold. Record the result and sign. Export to PDF for the customer data pack.

  • Record both bar and psi to avoid unit errors
  • Use a gauge in its calibration period
  • Log the temperature for hydrostatic tests
  • Keep the serial number on the record

Pressure units and conversions

One bar equals 14.5038 psi and 100 kPa. So 250 bar is about 3626 psi, and a 1.5 times test factor gives 375 bar, or 5439 psi. Many specifications set test pressure as a multiple of design or working pressure, such as 1.5 times for hydrostatic tests, but the factor varies by code and product. Take the factor from your governing document, and note the gauge range, since a reading is best taken in the upper part of the gauge scale.

Safety and quality notes

Hydrostatic tests are preferred because water stores little energy. Release trapped air before pressurizing, and use barriers and a controlled pressurization rate. Do not exceed the gauge range or the test pressure, and depressurize before touching a fitting. A pressure drop may be caused by temperature change, trapped air or a real leak, so record the cause when you accept or reject a result.

  • Bleed air before pressurizing
  • Control the ramp rate
  • Never tighten fittings under pressure

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I convert bar to psi?

Multiply bar by 14.5038. For example 100 bar is 1450 psi. To convert psi to bar, divide by 14.5038. One bar also equals 100 kPa and about 0.1 MPa.

What is the usual hydrostatic test pressure?

Many codes and specifications use 1.5 times design or working pressure, but this varies with the code, product and material. Use the factor from your governing standard or customer document, not a general rule.

Why record the gauge calibration?

Because the test result is only as reliable as the gauge. Customers and auditors expect to see the gauge ID and calibration due date on the record, linking readings to a traceable instrument.

Is a pneumatic test acceptable?

Only where the specification allows it and a safety assessment is done. Compressed gas stores a lot of energy, so failure can be dangerous. Hydrostatic testing is the safer default when the product allows it.

If test records are filed by hand, we can help link them to ERP serial numbers and shipments so customer data packs build automatically.
