Air leakage test for valves ( pipeline construction)
Air leakage test for valves ( pipeline construction)
(OP)
Hi All expert,
Somebody in Pipeline engineering section told me about air leakage test for valves must be added in procedure by 6 barg,so I try to find the API 6D std.to support this query ,but no cencern informations about this,please provide for concern standard or regulations to support this.
Thank & Best Regards,

Many companies do it all the time, because it is insurance against having a customer complaint.

API Std 622 applies to valve packing emissions. Some other things could be reviewed such as API Publ 346 for underground pipe leak detection etc. API Spec 6FA, 6FB and 6FC apply to fire testing. MSS SP 61 also addresses pressure testing.
Consider applying your requirements such as standards to valve purchase orders or pipeline fabrication contracts, etc. A pdf or paper copy of applicable standards is a good thing to read if you want to understand the requirements.
