Hydro Test Management Workflow
Kissflow manages every hydrostatic test pack from fill and pressurize through hold time and punch closure, so a test result is never just a signature on a chit nobody can find six months later.
Trusted by energy operators worldwide
A test pack holds pressure for two hours or it doesn't. There's no version of a hydrostatic test that's partly successful.
A piping system or vessel isn't ready for service until it's proven its integrity under test pressure, typically one and a half times design pressure, held for a set duration, with no drop beyond what temperature correction allows. That's a clean pass or fail, but the paperwork around it rarely is: which test packs are scheduled for which isolation window, whether the test medium and pressure gauge calibration are current, whether a failed test's repair actually got re-tested before the pack was marked closed. Kissflow runs the test pack from isolation and fill through pressurize, hold, and disposition, with every result tied to its pack number and punch items tracked to closure before the system moves to pre-commissioning.
Where hydro test packs lose their paper trail
Test pack readiness isn't checked before the crew mobilizes
A crew shows up to pressurize a system whose isolation valves haven't actually been confirmed closed.
Gauge calibration status isn't linked to the test
A test result gets recorded against a pressure gauge whose calibration expired the week before.
A failed test doesn't automatically require a re-test
A leak gets repaired, but the re-test that should follow slips through because nothing flagged it as required.
Test records scatter across chits and binders
Proving a system passed hydro test six months ago means tracking down a paper chit that may or may not still exist.
Six modules. Every test pack scheduled, executed, disposed, and closed with its punch items, in one register.
Configure your test pack list, pressure and hold-time criteria, and calibration checks to your test procedure.
Test pack scheduling
Test packs are scheduled against isolation windows, with system readiness confirmed before a crew mobilizes.
Gauge calibration check
A test can't be recorded against a pressure gauge whose calibration certificate has expired.
Pressure and hold-time recording
Test pressure, hold duration, and any pressure drop are recorded directly against the pack, with temperature correction applied.
Pass/fail disposition
A test pack is disposed pass, fail, or fail-pending-repair, with the disposition and the reviewer on record.
Punch item and re-test tracking
A failed test automatically opens a punch item and a required re-test that has to close before the pack can pass.
Test status dashboard
Every test pack rolls up by system and area, showing what's tested, what failed, and what's still pending.
From request to system of record in four steps
Initiate
A test pack is scheduled against its isolation window, with system readiness and gauge calibration confirmed.
Conduct
Test pressure, hold duration, and any pressure drop are recorded directly against the pack.
Flag
The pack is disposed pass, fail, or fail-pending-repair, with the reviewer on record.
Record
A failed test opens a required re-test that must close before the pack moves to pre-commissioning, with results retained.
What changes when hydro test management runs on Kissflow
| Process | Before Kissflow | On Kissflow |
|---|---|---|
| Test pack readiness | Confirmed verbally before the crew shows up | Checked and signed off before mobilization |
| Gauge calibration | Not linked to the test record | Checked automatically before a result can be recorded |
| Test result | Written on a paper chit | Recorded against the pack with full pressure and hold-time data |
| Failed test follow-up | Depends on someone remembering to schedule a re-test | A re-test opens automatically and blocks pack closure |
| Punch items | Tracked separately from the test record | Tied directly to the pack that generated them |
| Test status by system | Rebuilt by hand for every commissioning meeting | A standing dashboard by system and area |
Connects to your calibration management system and project scheduling tool; Kissflow doesn't replace your system of record
Kissflow runs the test pack scheduling, result recording, and disposition workflow. Your calibration system stays the system of record for gauge certification, and your scheduling tool stays the system of record for the isolation window plan.

Built for how hydro test packs actually get run, not just reported after the fact
Every result tied to its pack
Pressure, hold time, and disposition are recorded against the pack number, not a chit that can go missing.
Calibration checked automatically
A test can't be recorded against an expired gauge certificate.
Re-tests don't fall through
A failed test opens a required re-test that blocks the pack from closing until it passes.
Live in weeks

Governed from day one
Role-based access and a full audit trail on every test pack and disposition decision.
One dashboard for every system
See what's tested, what failed, and what's pending, by system and area, in seconds.

Get SupportNo. Your calibration system stays the system of record for gauge certification. Kissflow checks calibration status before allowing a test result to be recorded.
This app is scoped to the hydrostatic pressure test itself, a specific pass or fail event per test pack. Pre-Commissioning Checklists Management System coordinates the broader, multi-system readiness walk-down that a passed hydro test feeds into.
A failed test automatically opens a punch item and a required re-test. The pack can't be marked closed until the re-test passes.
Yes. Temperature correction is applied to the pressure reading before the pass/fail disposition is calculated, matching your test procedure.
Yes. Test medium, volume, and disposal or treatment requirements are captured against the pack alongside the pressure and hold-time record.
Yes. Hold time and acceptance criteria are configurable per system or pipe class to match your test procedure.
Configuration and AI-assisted app generation move delivery from a multi-month program to a matter of weeks.
Kissflow is certified to SOC 1, SOC 2, SOC 3, and ISO/IEC 27001, with role-based access and a full audit log on every test pack and disposition decision.
