Hydrostatic Testing Provides Significant Results

By Kevin Meyer


While doing the plumbing work we can observe certain leakages in the pipe system. By pressurizing the pipeline we can identify the pressure loss, hence it is easy to detect the leakage. Along with this it is also important to test the strength of the line. Hydrostatic testing is the remedy for checking the strength of pipes.

When there is any water or waste water related issues in our house. The treatment related to this is called as plumbing. This can involve fixing leakages in the pipeline, periodic cleaning of water tank, leakages happening from the flush tank of the toilet and cleaning the waste in the septic tank. Sometimes air block can occur in the pipe system which can stop the flow of water from the tap.

Ancient times people had to walk several distance to store the water. The stagnant water in the house posed another threat of mosquitoes breading into it causing diseases. It was necessary to contain the water and have a constant running stream. This was only possible with the invention of pipelines. They also helped in segregating the pure and the waste water.

Gas is in the form of air which cannot be contained. But when we apply high pressure the state changes to liquid which can be stored in a cylinder. This has many applications like in factories, laboratories, hospitals and cooking. This material is highly inflammable and it can burst and cause accident as it is in a high pressurized state.

Water when it is boiled and converted into steam has great application. It is used for centralized heating or sauna bath in cold areas. Other usages are cooking, sanitation and steam engines. The boiling water is held in a vessel called as boiler. There is a tendency for accidents as it is holding water in high pressure. Generally the boiler is made of wrought iron and stainless steel.

There is a central water body that manages the flow of water in the country. They outsource the responsibility to various private companies which ensures proper waste water management and providing pure water to homes. There is a healthy competition that happens between these companies for providing best service. Water is distributed from the river through dams.

The invention and technology also had adverse effects to the environment. Due to pollution, manmade structures, cutting down trees and weather changes are affecting the ground water level. There are places not receiving enough rain to fill the rivers. This is causing drought situation which is drying up the lands. The places which had ample amount of water are now deserts.

Water originates from the lake contains parasites which can cause illness if consumed without purification. In olden days people heated the water properly. Still that was not enough to remove all the parasites there are certain viruses that can survive in hot conditions. That is why UV and RO technology came which purifies the water properly.

Majority of the health related issues happens due to water contamination. That is why both the internal and external channels of water should be maintained at regular intervals. The drinking water must be purified with UV or RO technology.
