Hydrostatic Test

Vertical shop hydrostatic test based on MAWP per UG-99(b)

Gauge pressure at 25°C = 1.3 ⋅ M AW P ⋅ LSR

= 1.3 ⋅ 1,633.6 ⋅ 1

=2,123.69 kPa

(1) Top Head limits the UG-99(b) stress ratio.

(2) PL stresses at nozzle openings have been estimated using the method described in Division 2 Part 4.5.
(3) 1.5*0.9*Sy used as the basis for the maximum local primary membrane stress at the nozzle intersection PL.

The field test condition has not been investigated.
