RE: Boiler Hydro
Tests for new construction will have different criteria (and governing Code(s)) than post-construction, post-operation tests. Ditto for tests following repairs or alteration vs plain old pre-start-up leak tests.
For new...ASME Section I + local & State authorities.
For "old" w/repairs/alterations...NBIC + local & State authorities.
For leak tests...110% operating pressure or 85%-90% the relief valve set pressure(s).
RE: Boiler Hydro
In what state, county, contry or municipality are you located ?
Why are you doing the hydro ?
And most importantly, who is the governing body that will accept the test results ?
