Hydrostatic test

Periodic pressure test of the cylinder shell on an interval set by NFPA 10

Used across 3 Anvilfield field guides, most in HVAC.

Also defined as

  • Datacenter: A pressure test using water (or another liquid), the safe default because water stores little energy and a failure does not let go violently
  • Plumbing: A pressure test using water, the safe default because water stores almost no energy and a failure weeps instead of bursting
