As per API650 , 5.3.4 reinforcement pad shall be pnumatic tested upto 100kPa, but our client is cocerned about the pressure gauge range. Is there any specific requirement spelled in API. pL HELP





RE: inspection of reinforcement -plate welds
I prefer a 25 psig - 175 kPa gauge for the 10 psig repad testing. 200 kPa would also be a good choice.

Note: ASME uses the word "gage" for the testing apparatus, if you are searching an electronic file.

However, a few of our Client specifications state this a little differently...
"All gages shall have test pressure ranges 40 percent to 80 percent of the full range."
