Hydrostatic Tester Rentals

Testing a new pipeline segment, wellhead, or BOP to spec calls for a hydrostatic tester for one job, not a piece of equipment to own afterward. Many suppliers push equipment sales first and treat rental as an afterthought, so a contractor on a deadline has to dig to find what is actually available to rent. Boatman Industries runs a dedicated hydrostatic test pump rental fleet across the Gulf Coast, ideal for crews that need the right pressure and flow rate on site now, with nothing left to maintain once the test closes out.

Boatman Industries keeps a hydrostatic tester rental fleet on hand with units ranging from 0 to 15,000 PSI and common flow rates of 10 to 30 GPM. Each unit ships trailer-mounted with a plumbed water tank and pressure control valve already in place, so it arrives ready to test.

Pair a rental with our rental accessories lineup of hoses, gauges, and fittings rated to match, and the same units serve our broader water blasting equipment rentals fleet when a job calls for cleaning instead of pressure testing.

Rental units from Boatman Industries go to work on one test, then come back to the yard. Crews turn to our hydrostatic pressure test equipment for rent to prove a single component or a full pipeline segment before it enters service.

Some examples:

1. BOP and wellhead proof testing before equipment returns to service
2. Flow line and production tubing pressure checks between jobs
3. New pipeline segment testing to ASME and DOT specifications
4. Pressure vessel certification ahead of startup or turnaround

Renting fits a single test event, then the unit goes back to Boatman's yard. 

Buying makes sense once testing becomes a recurring part of your operation: multiple wells, ongoing pipeline construction, or an in-house QA program running pressure tests every month. The dividing line comes down to frequency: rent when the next test date is unknown, buy when the next five are already on the calendar. 

Contractors weighing a purchase can compare specs on our full hydrostatic test pump lineup for sale.

Some contractors are not sure up front if one job will turn into a standing need. Boatman's rent-to-own program solves that: a percentage of every rental payment applies toward the purchase price if you decide to keep the unit past the original test. 

Ask your sales contact for the current rebate terms when you request a quote.

Boatman Industries has matched hydrostatic testers to Gulf Coast jobsites for more than 38 years, and our sales team can walk through your pressure and flow requirements on the first call. Our Houston yard keeps rental units staged and ready to mobilize, so booking one this week can put it on location before your next job starts.

Rates depend on the unit's PSI rating, flow rate, and rental length, so we quote every hydrostatic test pump rental individually rather than posting flat rates.

Boatman rents hydrostatic testers by the day, week, or month, so a single short test does not require a long-term commitment.

Boatman does not deliver rental units directly. We can connect you with a trusted third-party transport provider to get equipment to your jobsite, or you can pick up units from our Houston yard.

Most crews run our rental units with their own trained personnel, and our team can walk first-time operators through setup before the job starts.
