Vivek and Narenda:
Reading the original note, I believe the question is on the formal term, which should be hydrostatic test. But careful about the interpretation there - originally, testing was most likely done with water. But with all the chemicals which may be flowing in a line, water is not necessarily the test medium for applying pressure. Example, you probably would not want to test a line which would carry acids with water - any test medium which may remain in the line must be compatible with the product which will be carried. Or else, you must have a very elaborate dewatering procedure, to assure that none is left.
