Rules of thumb of hydrostatic test heat.

Hi.

Friends

You can help me.

Thanks.

RE: Rules of thumb of hydrostatic test heat.

I can't really make out what you are asking. If English is not your first language you can get help stating your question at forum1529: Translation Assistance for Engineers

"Belief" is the acceptance of an hypotheses in the absence of data.
"Prejudice" is having an opinion not supported by the preponderance of the data.
"Knowledge" is only found through the accumulation and analysis of data.
The plural of anecdote is not "data"

Excuses for not properly explain my query.

I need to design a hydrostatic test head with pipe, but not if there is a standard that has information on this topic.

h.f.polo

RE: Rules of thumb of hydrostatic test heat.

Then find a standard so you dont have to design a hydrostatic test head with pipe.

RE: Rules of thumb of hydrostatic test heat.

If I was you I would use Asme b31.3 to design your test end. Remember that for your test end, the design pressure is actually the test pressure, hence your test end may be a thicker pipe than the one you are testing. If you're testing a pipeline, you can use the pipeline code, preferably the liquid one, but again, IMO, you need to use a higher pressure than the pipeline design pressure because that is it's working pressure. This may mean you need higher rated flanges than the rest of your system.

There's nothing particularly special about a test end that isn't covered by 31.3 in the same way you would design a header. If in doubt make it thicker or go up a flange rating....

My motto: Learn something new every day

Also: There's usually a good reason why everyone does it that way
