What Is Pressure Testing? A Step-by-Step Look at the Hose Testing Process

Pressure testing is a controlled method used to confirm a hose’s integrity before use.

Step 1: Pre-Test Inspection

The hose is visually inspected for damage, contamination, or incorrect assembly.

Step 2: Test Setup

The hose is securely connected to the testing equipment and filled with the test medium.

Step 3: Applying Pressure

Pressure is gradually increased to the required level and held for a specified duration.

Step 4: Evaluation

Any pressure drop, leakage, or deformation is assessed to determine pass or fail status.

Step 5: Documentation

Results are recorded, providing traceability and assurance.
