Hydrostatic testing, or “hydrotesting”, is a critical step in confirming the integrity of vessels that handle a variety of fluids — from water to crude oil. The irony is that the same water used to test for leaks or weak points also introduces the risk of corrosion into the vessel, potentially leading to further integrity issues or corrosion-related problems in future. What’s a simple…
