API 5L general query
(OP)
What % of SMYS should be used to calculate hydrostatic test pressure for API 5L Gr.B PSL2 (SAWL) Pipe?
Whether it's 60% of SMYS (Standard Test Pressure) or 75% (Alternate Test Pressure)?
What's difference between these 2 pressures and where to use it?
Thanks and regards,
Sayam

The code of construction in this case is not the material specification, API 5L for fabrication, it will be the intended service application of the pipe. For example, a code of construction for piping could be ASME B31.3 or ASME B31.8 or other. The construction code specifies hydrostatic test requirements in addition to client specification requirements.

345.4.2 Test Pressure in the 2008 ASME B31.3. All of the information is there to determine hydrostatic test pressure.

What's difference between Standard Test Pressure and Alternate Test Pressure?
How to apply it on API 5L?
