Nitrogen testing, Pressure testing, and Purging

Nitrogen testing, pressure testing, and purging are essential processes used in various industries, particularly in the oil and gas, petrochemical, and construction sectors. These techniques are employed to ensure the integrity, safety, and proper functioning of pipelines, vessels, and other systems that handle fluids or gases under pressure.

Nitrogen testing involves the use of nitrogen gas to assess the tightness and integrity of pressure vessels, pipelines, or systems. It is particularly useful when testing for leaks or assessing the structural soundness of equipment before they are put into service or after significant maintenance.

Pressure testing is a widely used method to verify the strength and integrity of pressure vessels, pipelines, and other components that are designed to contain fluids or gases under pressure. It is essential to ensure that these systems can withstand the operational pressure without any leaks or failures.

Purging is a process used to remove unwanted or hazardous substances, such as air, moisture, or flammable gases, from pipelines, vessels, or equipment. Purging is commonly done before commissioning new equipment or when changing the product being handled in a system.
