You’d think there would be a way to hydrotest these systems before you put them on line.

They are tested extensively, but sometimes you still don’t find problems until you test the whole system working together under real conditions.

They do. But it broke. Kinda like checking the air in your tires. You can’t stop a nail if it wants to puncture your tire.

If it was worked on, it was hydro’d to over test depth. You still have to do a deep dive after most work anyways but you hydro in port.
