For Low-pressure closure seat , test pressure shall be 60 - 100 psig (4.22 -7.03 Kg/cm2)
0

The Hydrostatic Shell test pressure shall be 1.5 or times the pressure rating tables for material groups in ASME B16.34 at 36 C (100 F), rounded off to the next
higher 25 psi increment
0

Where a valve has a stem backseat feature, testing of the backseat shall commence with the seat free. The Hydrostatic Backseat test pressure
shall be 1.1 times the pressure rating tables for material groups in ASME B16.34 at 360C (100 0F)
