The method is the same for whatever is being tested and to whatever pressure:
Open a dialogue with the insurance company responsible for burst failure indemnity insurance for the system
Obtain from them a hydraulic test pressure to be achieved to give a high level of confidence in the system at the working temperature and pressure
Exclude all air from the system by filling with water at ambient temperature.
Seal the system apart from a calibrated test gauge, any relief valves and the water inlet connection.
Press the system to the test pressure and hold it there.
Remedy any leaks
Repeat 5 and 6 as required and for whatever duration required by the insurance company's engineer/surveyor. Let that individual publish a test certificate on the basis of the final observed test.
