Heather,  could you recheck the link -- all those "%" signs appear to make it unworkable.

RE: Pop test


It is always possible to have or require a certified functional test for any valve, with one or more tests results and certified and/or witnessed certification papers after several valve standards.

I gather however that you really ask if there is some standardized procedures for testing a vacuum valve, and if this is set down in some national/international official standard.

I am not quite sure about this (have you tried google or searched homepages at different producers of safety valves)?

You will, however, even if this is a different constructed device, find standard tests for rupture discs, also valid for vacuum service.

(Try for instance Fike or others)
