This is the hydrostatic test or the water jacket test or simply hydrotesting being carried out at our NTPC Simhadri site for the CW Package. And Hydrostatic testing is a way in which a gas pressure vessel such as a gas cylinder or a boiler is checked for leaks or flaws. In our case a CW system or huge underground pipes. Using this test helps maintain safety standards and durability of a vessel over time. Testing is very important because such containers can explode if they fail when containing compressed gas or liquid.
