Abstract
A system and method of hydrostatic testing a pipeline that is not in service, according to which the pipeline is hydrostatically pressurized and a portable remote telemetry unit is temporarily connected to the pipeline for measuring variables corresponding to the hydrostatic pressurization. Data corresponding to the variable measurements is transmitted to a central location and the portable remote telemetry unit is disconnected from the pipeline.
Claims36
A method for hydrostatic testing of a pipeline that is not in service, comprising:
- hydrostatically pressurizing the pipeline;
