Zusammenfassung:	A method and apparatus for testing a blowout preventer, which includes a plurality of safety devices and an assembly of fluid control valves that are remotely actuatable to an open and closed position for controlling flow of drillings fluids into a well, includes a hydraulic power unit control valves to a test orientation. A hydrostatic test system supplies fluid under first and second test pressure and documents any pressure loss due to fluid leaks within a closed system.
