So as you fill the pipe with waterHere's my problem, I am a pipeline contractor and to test my pipes I have to pump them up with water to 200psi using a hydrostatic test pump. Now the problem is that it is impossible to compress water and the pipes are steel and don't expand then how is it possible to fit more water in the line to build the pressure?

Around here you may need to habla español.Well, we could go with that...or maybe find out why they never get my order right at McDonalds.

So as you fill the pipe with water
the pressure will go from almost zero to
very high
very quickly.
It's a problem of control.
You need a relief valve on the test pump that releases at 200 PSI, +/-.
Post a link to your test pump. If it's positive displacement it can be easily damaged.
If your pipe is installed with the required slope and you pump it at the top of the slope to 200 lbs, how much pressure do you have at the bottom of the slope?
If the pipe was expandable, you would have fill it to it's max size before you get the needed pressure.
