Hydrotest-Sightglass
(OP)
Hi guys,
Is it advisable to do hydrotest of a newly constructed pressure vessel with sightglass on. My hesitation is, the purchase requirement of sightglass states only design temperature and pressure of a vessel which is less than the hydrotest pressure.There is some pressure value stated on the glass which is also less than actual test pressure. Since this is a HSE issue, I dont want to take any risk. please advise..Thanks
