Services > Pressure testing > Pressure testing
Pipelines have to be exposed to pressure before being put into service. At ITP Service, we have long provided the highest level of professionalism in our pipeline pressure testing service.
We divide the operation into two stages: stress testing and leak testing. Pressure testing is usually conducted with water, air, nitrogen or other resources. Furthermore, we duly record and document all the parameters relating to these activities.
