ASME Code Sect VIII Div 1 Hydrostatic Test Hold Time
(OP)
Does anyone know the hold time required by the ASME Code, Section VIII, Division 1 for a hydrostatic test of a pressure vessel? If so, what is it and where is it stated in the Code?

1/10 of a second seems a bit short to me. Typical practice is to hold it for a short period as defined in the manufacturer's hydro procedure. I've observed times as short as 15 minutes and as long as 8 hours.
