shell pressure test
shell pressure test
(OP)
I have a question for the pressure test equipment capability.
If I want to test a valve with 1000 psi shell pressure, can I use test equipment with 1200 psi maximum pressure capability?
I heard that the hydrostastic pressure tester shall be 4 times the pressure rating of the valve.
Please advise
