How to carry out pressure testing and leak detection of air separation equipment

Pressure testing and leak detection are both air tightness checks of air separation equipment. Its purpose is to examine the quality of installation, piping, and welding.

There are two types of pressure testing for air separation equipment: one is strength pressure testing, which tests the safety of the equipment. Generally, individual equipment is tested at the manufacturing plant or before installation upon arrival at the site. The second is the airtightness test, with the purpose of detecting leaks. Generally, the whole system pressure test of air separation equipment during installation refers to the latter. The pressure level and test method of the airtightness test vary depending on the object being tested, and should be carried out in accordance with the technical documents of the manufacturer. After the installation of general air separation equipment, a full system pressure test is required and the residual rate is calculated. The requirement for residual rate to be above 95% is qualified.

In the process of operation, especially in the start-up and shutdown of the air separation unit, one-way force should be avoided on the instrument. During the start-up of the equipment, close the high pressure and low pressure valves firstly, then open the balance valve, and then slowly open the high pressure (or low pressure) valve, so that the measured medium can enter the positive (negative) pressure chamber of the transmitter. If the liquid is to be measured, the gas in the positive (negative) pressure chamber should be discharged from the upper vent. If the gas is measured, drain the liquid accumulated in the positive (negative) pressure chamber from the lower drain screw hole. After discharging the gas (liquid), close the balance valve, and then open the valve on the other side. When the equipment is shut down, the high pressure (or low pressure) valve should be closed first, then the balance valve should be opened, and then the valve should be closed on the other side.
