Magmath76, take IFRs advice and thoroughly peruse the API 650 standard for hydrostatic testing and all the requirements BEFORE such test.
There are NDE requirements such as vacuum box testing of bottom and the taking of measurements, etc before hydrotesting.
All the guidelines are in API 650 such as water test quality (i.e., CS - where water contact exceeds 14 days, consider adding oxygen scavenger & a biocide and raise the pH by adding a caustic; SS - See Appendix S; Aluminum - See Appendix H.
There are also specific fill and discharge rates depending on bottom course thicknesses.

Can you please give me some guide line on establishing fill and discharge rates?
