Hydotesting
(OP)
Hello!
I have a request to test a 4" pipe grade A106B Sch80 (8.56mm)to 12000 psi. It will be exposed to around 50C.
B31.1 specifies that it should be tested to a max of 2075psig.
Can anybody please advise the correctness of such requirement?
Thanking you in advance

RE: Hydotesting
Surely the request is 2000 psig and it is a typo.
RE: Hydotesting
Don't think thats correct, they might have meant 1200 (or 2000 psi as suggested by 1gibson), better check with them.

RE: Hydotesting
1st. Is that same factor still to be used in 2010 edition?
2nd. When a part of a system built to the 2002 edition is to be replaced due corrosion, can we still use the 2002 edition as design code or must the 2010 edition to be used?
Thanks
