Thermal Shock of Pipe - How big of a temp differential is needed?
(OP)
Hello - We are looking at pressure testing some pipe. It will be a heated test with the fluid heated to ~80C. It will then be introduced to the system of heavy walled, #1500 carbon steel pipe that may have cold spots on exterior sections as low as -25C. I feel like the temperature differential and the heat transfer will be low enough to be safe. Does anyone think any ill effects may come of this?

Independent events are seldomly independent.
