Pneumatic Testing Services

Patriot International offers specialised pneumatic testing services as part of our Mechanical Completion and Commissioning division. Our expert team ensures the integrity and safety of your piping systems and pressure vessels using advanced pneumatic testing techniques.

What is Pneumatic Testing?

Pneumatic testing is a specialised pressure testing method essential for verifying the structural integrity and leak-free performance of pipelines, pressure vessels, and other critical components. Unlike hydrostatic testing, pneumatic testing uses air or inert gases such as nitrogen to pressurise the system, helping to detect leaks and assess the material’s strength under operational conditions. This technique is especially useful for systems where introducing water is not feasible or desired.

At Patriot International, we offer pneumatic testing services that adhere to strict safety protocols and industry standards, ensuring the accuracy and reliability of every test. Using state-of-the-art equipment and precision methods, we pressurise systems gradually and maintain set pressure levels, allowing us to safely identify any potential leaks or weaknesses without compromising system integrity.

Advantages of Pneumatic Testing

Precision Leak Detection

Pneumatic testing provides high sensitivity in detecting small leaks, making it ideal for applications where leak prevention is paramount.

Non-Corrosive and Non-Conductive

Using non-corrosive, non-conductive gases such as nitrogen reduces the risk of contaminating or damaging the system, particularly in delicate or specialised environments.

No Post-Test Cleaning

Unlike hydrostatic testing, pneumatic testing does not require drying or cleaning after testing, making it a more efficient option for systems sensitive to moisture.

Adaptable for Sensitive Systems

Pneumatic testing is ideal for systems where water introduction is impractical, such as electronic enclosures or pipelines in harsh climates, where residual moisture could affect long-term performance.

Applications of Pneumatic Testing in the Oil & Gas Industry

Pipeline Leak Verification

Pneumatic testing is a reliable approach for detecting leaks in pipelines before they enter service, helping ensure operational reliability across extensive oil and gas networks.

Pressure Vessel Testing

Ideal for pressure vessels that store gases, pneumatic testing helps verify the vessel’s durability under pressurised conditions, ensuring compliance and safety in operations.

Non-Water-Compatible System Testing

Pneumatic testing is essential for systems where water contact is undesirable, such as certain storage tanks or pipelines transporting non-water-compatible substances.
