Vapor Barrier & Hydrostatic Weld Testing

Precision Under Pressure

Confirm Welds and Protect Crews With Localized Pressure Analysis

When full-system hydrotests are off the table — or simply too disruptive — TEAM delivers a smarter solution. Our Vapor Barrier & Hydrostatic Weld Testing services validate individual welds and pipe segments without draining vessels, disassembling equipment, or halting parallel work.

Using compact, field-ready tools, we isolate the weld zone and vent upstream gases to create a safe, vapor-free environment for welding and inspection. Once the weld is complete, the same tool shifts into position for a localized hydrostatic test—applying up to 5,000 psi to verify joint integrity in real time. No reconfigurations. No delays. Just fast, code-compliant results exactly where you need them.

From nozzle additions and tie-ins to flange welds and specialty fittings, our tools adapt to a wide range of diameters, geometries, and service conditions. We also offer external cap testing, grip-type tools for plain-end pipe, and vapor evacuation systems to ensure safety before welding even begins. Every test is performed by certified technicians using ASME-compliant methods—and as part of TEAM360, our weld testing integrates with hot tapping, machining, leak repair, and OneInsight® digital documentation. That means one streamlined solution from weld to validation, designed to keep your crews safe, your schedules tight, and your system live.

Capabilities

Localize testing. Maximize efficiency.

TEAM’s internal and external weld testing systems are designed for demanding field environments — so you can maintain pressure integrity with fewer work interruptions.

  • Seal off the weld zone using internal vapor barrier tools rated to 25 psi back pressure
  • Monitor real-time cavity conditions through through-port venting
  • Vent upstream gases or vapors to a safe discharge location
  • Use the same tool to perform localized hydrostatic testing up to 5,000 psi
  • Fit pipe diameters ranging from 0.5″ to 120″
  • Test external nozzles and new welds without filling the entire vessel
  • Integrate seamlessly with hot tap, machining, or repair scopes

Advantages

Safer welders. Faster timelines.

Our vapor barrier and hydro weld testing solutions help you get more done without pausing parallel activities or draining schedules for unnecessary hydrofills.

  • Eliminate full-system hydrotesting when targeting localized welds
  • Avoid vessel fill-up delays, especially for nozzle additions or tie-ins
  • Maintain simultaneous access for internal crews during external testing
  • Prevent backpressure risk with integrated vapor evacuation systems
  • Speed up installs with compact, quick-deploy tooling
  • Achieve code-compliant testing with less water, manpower, and time
  • Keep welders safe even when upstream contamination is present
+
Customization

Engineered for your system

Every asset is different — and so are your testing needs. TEAM’s engineers create custom vapor barrier and testing solutions to fit even the most challenging configurations.

  • Test plain-end pipe using grip-type tools rated to burst pressure
  • Validate service systems and spool pieces without major disassembly
  • Perform internal nozzle or flange testing with compression-style caps
  • Execute under-the-weld testing for slip-ons, weld necks, sockets, tech-locks, and more
  • Handle sample valves, orifice flanges, and specialty fittings with custom tooling
