- Interior of the tank shall be cleaned.

- Prior to test, QC Inspector shall check the equipment and device which will be used as follows:

 The capacity of hydrostatic pump and range of pressure gauges,

 The calibration label attached to the pressure test gauges to assure that the pressure test gauges
have been calibrated at least once in every six (6) months and within the calibration due date or if
any time there is reason to believe that they are in error.
 The dial indication pressure gage(s) to be used in testing, they should preferably have the dial(s)
graduated over a range of about double the intended maximum pressure. But the range shall not be
less than 1.5 nor more than 4 (four) times the test pressure.
 The valves and pipe for connection with gauges and the pump.

- Before the tank is filled with test water, the points for settlement measurement shall be marked on a tank

8.2 PRESSURE APPLICATION

- The test pressure shall not be applied until the vessel and the test fluid are at about the same temperature.
Temperature records will be taken by calibrated laser-thermometer frequently.
