Introduction
CEN have prepared a series of related machinery safety standards, some of which are to be harmonised European
Standards, in order to implement the essential requirements for health and safety set down in the Supply of
Machinery (Safety) Directive. This European Standard is one of this series and provides the procedure to be used
for a specific verification requirement of EN 809.
The subject of this European Standard is the proving of the integrity of pump parts intended to withstand internal
pressure. It refers, therefore, to the in-process testing of pump parts so that each item may be considered to have
been examined.
This European standard is a type C standard as stated in EN 1070.

1 Scope
This standard specifies the hydrostatic test procedure to be applied to pressure containing parts of all types of
liquid pumps including any auxiliary equipment making up a pump unit as described in the scope of EN 809:1998,
except :
 domestic water pumps within the scope of EN 60335-2-41:1996 or EN 60335-2-51:1997 ;
 domestic circulation pumps within the scope of EN 1151:1999 ;
 submersible pumps within the scope of prEN 13386:1998 ;
 fire-fighting pumps with primers within the scope of prEN 1028-1:1993 and prEN 1028-2:1993 ;
 pump parts with a maximum allowable working pressure below 0.1 bar.
Requirements are included for applying an hydrostatic test at different pressures to separate zones within a pump
which are subject to different allowable maximum working pressures.
This standard is for pumps and pump units which are placed upon the market after the publication date of the
standard.

3 Terms and definitions
For the purposes of this standard, EN 12723:2000 and the following definition apply:
"Item" or "items to be tested"
1)
any part, component, sub-assembly, pump or pump units which is to be the subject of hydrostatic pressure test
4 General
4.1 All pressure containing items shall be hydrostatically pressure tested. The purpose of this hydrostatic test is
to demonstrate the absence of leakage through pressure containing walls of any item under test and from the joints
formed by an assembly of items under test, by imposing a defined pressure in excess of the allowable working
pressure for which the item is supplied.
4.2 This test procedure shall be applied to a sampling programme only where the manufacturer can show the
validity of the sampling programme and that it is appropriate for the application.
An example of a sampling programme is given in annex A.
4.3 Pumps with double volutes, multiple stages, and otherwise with internal separating walls and to be tested
segmentally shall have a hydrostatic pressure applied to each segment related to the operating conditions in the
segment when the pump is working at its allowable working pressure.
4.4 Pressure containing chambers which function independently shall be tested separately without pressure
being applied to any adjacent chamber.
4.5 To avoid excessive loads on crank-shafts in multiplex reciprocating pump assemblies those elements in the
suction stage of the cycle shall be supported or disconnected from the crank-shaft.
5 Timing of the test
The manufacturer shall allow sufficient time during manufacture for the test and examination of all items within the
scope of this standard. The test may be carried out on an individual item or on a sub-assembly as a group of items.
Normally, the hydrostatic test is carried out :
 after completion of machining ;
 prior to the application of coatings, insulation, and overlays, (protection of raw parts against rust shall not be
considered as a coating) ;

following non-destructive testing, or after special leak tests below a gauge pressure of 0,5 bar
 on reciprocating positive displacement pumps, at the start of the performance test of the fully assembled
pump.

1)
A rotating mechanical seal assembled into a pump or into a separate sub-assembly, together with an end plate to connect
the stationary elements of the seal to the stationary parts of the pump, will not be considered as an item to be tested but may
be subjected to the test pressu
