Remarks
Hydrostatic Tests
“Test must bea at Feast | times the masiemum design
pressure multiplied by the lowest ratio ofthe stress value for
‘the test temperature to that for de design ermpertune
ihe allowable stress st design temperature i less tha the
allowable stress a est temperature the hydrostatic test
pressure must be increased proportionally. Thus
‘Mlowable tes el temperature x
‘Tet pane 1.3% Towobla stress a deg temperate
Combination units must be so tested that hydrostatic pressure
ison one chamber without presse in the other parts
Include eorosion allowance in calculating test prowure
Inspection must be made at a pressure not less than %y of test
pressure
“Test cust ductile iron ot 2 times maxim allowable working
pressure
‘Test cistron vests a times the design working presute,
for design pressure under 30 psi, test at 21/2 mes design
ressure ut not to excead 60 psi
“Test pressure shll be ot least 14 tines the design pressure at
10°F
