cleaning and testingto prevent dirt orforeign matterfrom being inroduced into ttre
instnrment inadvertently.

7-622 In general, all instnrments in the system to be tested shall be excluded from the test by
isolation or remove4 unless otherwise permitted by this Inspection and Testing hoceAure.

lilS Iocally mounted indicating pressure gauges, shall be blocked off or removed and their
connections plugged when the test pressure exceeds the scale range. These gauges shall
also be blocked offduring cleaning.

o blpass valves shall be left opn, with the control valve open orclosed (whichever is most
convenienQ. If the test pressure is different upstream than downstrream of the control
valve, the test-on the upstrream portion shall be made with the bypass valve close4
upstream block valve open, downstream block valve closed, and control valve opn.
Where control valves arc tested together with the piprng system, no attempt strall be made
' to tighten control valve packing to prevent leakage. Should leakage at a control valve be
excessive to the extent that the pressure test cannot tb canied out, the control valve shall
be blocked out orremoved-

7 -62;5 lrvel instrument floas located inside vessels or float cages shall be removed prior to
Hydrostatic Testing if the allowable external pressure on the float is unknown or it is below
Hydrostatic Testpressure. Untested float cages, shall be tested with the system.

7 -621i If the test is to be held for a period of time and the test liquid
is subject to thennal
expansion, precautions shall be taken to avoid excessive pressure.
