A test tool 10 for use in testing tubular components 12 such as a pipe comprises a body 16 having first and second body portions 18, 20 together defining a sliding sleeve. Axially spaced sealing and gripping modules 26a, 26b are provided; with one module 26a located on the first body portion 18 and another module 26b located on the second body portion 20. A force generating arrangement is provided to apply an axial test force to the tubular component 12 via the modules 26a, 26b. A test pressure is applied to a section of the wall of the tubular component 12 and an axial load is applied to the wall section. Application of the axial load between the first and second modules 26a, 26b applies the axial load to the wall section if the tubular component 12 to facilitate strength testing of the tubular component. |
