RE: hydrotest for RTR Piping
Normally, the test pressure is the operating pressure plus an incremental amount. The maximum hydrotest pressure is 1.5 times the pressure grade. The pressure test specifications should be confirmed with the pipe manufacturer. Attached is a typical hydrotest procedure.
RE: hydrotest for RTR Piping
However in general this is no different to "normal" piping and therefore a pressure test of 1.5 times design pressure or MOP is usually required.
ISO 14692 for GRE or "fibre glass" piping quotes 1.5 x design or 0.89 times the "qualified pressure"
