System and method for automated integrity testing

A testing system for performing integrity testing in a gas piping system, comprising:

• a motorized pump for pressurizing the piping system;
• a pressure sensor for measuring the pressure in the piping system;
• and
• a control system including at least one controller and configured to:
• control the pump to pressurize the piping system to a predetermined pressure,
• receive inputs from the pressure sensor, and
• output data related to the pressure of the piping system over a predetermined time.

A method for performing integrity testing in a gas piping system, comprising:

• inputting data related to a test to be performed into a programmable testing system;
• pressurizing the piping system to a predetermined pressure using a motorized pump making up a part of the testing system;
• monitoring the pressure of the piping system after the piping system is pressurized to the predetermined pressure using a pressure sensor providing outputs to a control system of the testing system;
• and
• outputting data related to the pressure of the piping system from the control system.
