Hydrotest Pressure

07/01/2009 8:12 AM

Please good guys, how does material specification of pipe affects hydrostatic pressure?. Do i just rely on the operating pressures in determining the test pressure?

Cheers

You should rely on the piping code that the pipe has been designed to.

The hydrostatic test pressure relies on the design pressure/temperature and test temperature, which relies on the thickness of the pipe, which is dependent on the strength and material specification of the pipe.

Have a search through this site with the menu at the right (first try "hydrostatic test")

test at 125% of the operating pressure

As suggested, you need to look at the piping code you are using.

Some piping codes will require the hydrotest be done at 150% of design pressure (B31.3 for example), others have lower pressure requirements but may require you to hold those pressures for a specific period of time.
