- Visual internal/external test: Performed from the outside of a pressure vessel to find conditions that could impact the vessel’s ability to maintain pressure integrity or conditions that compromise the integrity of the supporting structures
- Hydrostatic testing: The Hydro test is a type of pressure test performed on piping and pressure vessels to check system integrity under pressure condition. A hydrostatic test is performed by using water as the test medium.
- Pneumatic testing: Type of pressure test for checking system integrity under the pressurized condition and applied to systems where the hydro-static test is difficult to apply.
-
Upper Coupler Testing:
Upper coupler assembly. A structure consisting of an upper coupler plate, king-pin and supporting framework which interfaces with and couples to a fifth wheel.
Upper coupler plate. A plate structure through which the king-pin neck and collar extend. The bottom surface of the plate contacts the fifth wheel when coupled.
