Pressure testing of equipment

A method of conducting a pressure operation with a specimen, comprising:

• transporting a portable module to a site of the specimen;
• connecting the module to the specimen, wherein the specimen and the module are connected to a source for a fluid medium;
• inputting an operation specification into a processor disposed in the module;
• passing the fluid medium though a valve inside the module and then into the specimen;
• executing the operation specification with the processor that then controls the valve thereby adjusting pressure in the specimen through pressurization, hold pressure and depressurization phases in accordance with the operation specification;
• sensing pressure and flow of the fluid medium within the module to provide measured data;
• and
• outputting from the processor a report containing the measured data.

A system for conducting a pressure operation with a specimen, comprising:

• a housing in shape of a case to define an exterior of a portable module;
• a source line coupling an inlet port into the housing with a fluid medium;
• a supply line coupling a supply port from the housing with the specimen to input the fluid medium from the module into the specimen;
• inlet, outlet and isolation valves disposed along a conduit in the housing through which the inlet port and the supply port are in fluid communication;
• flow and pressure sensors disposed in the housing along the conduit to measure properties of the fluid medium input into the specimen;
• and
• a processor disposed in the housing and configured to:
• execute an operation specification inputted into the module by controlling the valves in order to fill the specimen with the fluid medium and raise, hold and lower pressure within the specimen without additional input;
• record data from the sensors;
• and output a report.
