PARTI. ACCEPTANCE CRITERIA PARTIV. DRIFT TEST PARTI, OPEN BODY TESTS PARTV. STORING AND SHIPPING PARTI SEAT SEAL TESTS GENERAL 1. The rated working pressure of the vaive assembiy is listed in the assembly bill of material description, NOTE: Some valves have outlet flanges that are rated at higher pressures than the valve assembly. Be sure to pressurize the valve for testing according to the rated assembly working pressure, rather than the outlet rated pressure 2. Alltest fuid shall be treated with a rust preventative, ‘Test fluid for valves rated at -20°F and below (API temperature ciasses K, L, P) shall be a 70% ethylene glycol cor propylene glycol with a 30% tap water mixture. Test fluid for valves with @ minimum temperature rating ‘above -20°F (API temperature classes S, T, U, X, Y) shall be tap water or a glycoliwater mixture, ‘Operating fluid for Cameron actuators shall be a glycol mixture or ol, as specified on the actuator BOM andlor routing, and air or nitrogen gas for pneumatic actuators. For non-Cameron actuators, refer to manufacturer's operating instructions. 3, Timing shall not start unti the test pressure has been reached, stabilized, and the equipment and pressure monitoring gage have been isolated from the pressure source, 4. Extemal surfeves of the parts shall be thoroughly cried 5 _Alldivsional and facility safety policies and procedures for pressure testing shall be followed NOTE: When pressure is bled from the valve bore, there may be trapped pressure in the cavity when the valve isin the open or closed position. The valve should be cycled or temporarily held in the half open position to safely vent this pressure Ad09 GITIOULNOD Xy DRAWN EY.
