Section 16.3.2

Prior to final inspection & pressure test, new vessel internal and external
32-SAMSS-004,
B7 surfaces have been thoroughly cleaned. Any slag, scale, dirt, grit,
Section 16.2.9
spatter, paint, oil, and construction aids are removed.

Vessel Trim (associated piping) receives a strength test except in Utility

B8 services at 150 psi and less when a service test can be conducted.
Para. 5.3
(NOTE: Vessel Trim testing is often overlooked. )

Sampling piping systems are pressure tested as an integral part of the SAES-L-150,

equipment to which it is connected. Para. 5.3

All welded attachments with telltale holes shall be pneumatically tested

32-SAMSS-004,

Section 16.3.3
testing. Telltale holes are OPEN during pressure test.

32-SAMSS-004,

Section 16.3.4

Gaskets and bolting materials are as specified on data sheet. (NOTE:

B13 No paint or primer is applied to a vessel prior to hydrostatic testing.
Section 16.3.4

Vertical vessels tested in horizontal position are supported such that

32-SAMSS-004,
B14 primary stresses in any part of the vessel do not exceed 90% of 
Section 16.3.11
