less than 1.5 times the Maximum Operating Pressure
by opening the valve partially open and tightening the
gland to get the pressure. Then check for leaks through
Shell.

***Gate Valve – Hydrotest Seat;

Hydrostatic Closure Test or Seat Test, continue to test

from Shell Test at the pressure not less than 1.1 times of
Maximum Operating Pressure by closing the valve fully
closed and then checking the leak through Seat and
Disk. Both tests must be done on two (2) – Side of Gate
Valve.

***Valve – Pressure Test Duration;

Valve ‘s minimum hydrostatic/pneumatic pressure test,

according to the table in API 598, where the test duration
is the time we spend checking the valve leak after The
pressure can be maintained at Test pressure.
