What are the hydrotest limitations?
(OP)
I have to Hydro Test a pipe spool (5000 psi Design Pressure) to 7500 psi,per B31.1, however, the pipe has 6000# fittings welded to it. Does this limit the hydro test pressure?
Thanks in advance.
Thanks in advance.





RE: What are the hydrotest limitations?
There is not enough information to answer your question. What is the material? Do you have ASME B16.34?
RE: What are the hydrotest limitations?
The materials are A-106 Gr C and A-105 fittings. The design temp is 450 F.
The pipe is 4" Non-Std Sch (.699 wall).
I do not have ASME B16.34.
Thanks

How did you come to this conclusion. I would like to be able to make these decisions on my own in the future.
Thanks

I suppose it is another standard I need to buy.
Thanks again.

for 6,000 lb fitting, pipe schedule is XXS for threaded fitting
for 6,000 lb fitting, pipe schedule is 160 for welded type
