Operators have historically used hydrostatic testing as part of their efforts to reduce pipeline failures. Hydrostatic testing is not only costly but can cause cracks to propagate in the pipeline due to high-pressure testing equipment. In addition, typical hydrostatic testing doesn’t offer insightful information about the true condition of an operatorAn entity or organization responsible for the operation, management, and maintenance of a pipeline system.
