1. A method for hydrostatic testing of a pipeline that is not in service, comprising:
- hydrostatically pressurizing the pipeline;
temporarily connecting at least one portable remote telemetry unit to the pipeline for measuring variables associated with the pipeline;
transmitting to a central location data corresponding to the variable measurements associated with the pipeline from the at least one portable remote telemetry unit; and
disconnecting the at least one portable remote telemetry unit from the pipeline.

Abstract
A system and method of hydrostatic testing a pipeline that is not in service, according to which the pipeline is hydrostatically pressurized and a portable remote telemetry unit is temporarily connected to the pipeline for measuring variables corresponding to the hydrostatic pressurization. Data corresponding to the variable measurements is transmitted to a central location and the portable remote telemetry unit is disconnected from the pipeline.
