From the middle of 2005 to late in 2006 I worked at a government test lab. The hydrostatic pressure test was one of the most complicated procedures we did, and surprisingly it was also completely undocumented. After I finally learned how to do the test I decided that it would be a good idea to help future testers by documenting the procedure.Because the software tools available were very limited, I settled on using hand-drawn illustrations in a Word document. A scan of some of the original drawings is to the right, and a PDF of the full test procedure is linked below.
