Strength Testing Alternative
(OP)
Section 345 in ASME B31.3 appears to allow the substitution of a 1.5 hydrostatic strength test by a 1.1 pneumatic test if the "hydro" is deemed impracticable. Assistance is required on the interpretation of this section. I have a system that would require a hydrotest of 150barg and would contain around 60Te of water (deem impracticable) and would like to subsitute this with a 110barg N2/He test.
