ii) PT = 1.25 MAWP (ST/ S)
SAMSS-004,
Where,
Section 16.3.11
PT is the minimum test pressure
S is the allowable stress at design temperature
ST is the allowable stress at test temperature
ST/S is the lowest ratio for the pressure boundary
materials, excluding bolting materials, of which
the vessel is constructed.
