Hydrotesting with fuel oil
Hydrotesting with fuel oil
(OP)
Alright i have another hydrotesting question. We will need to perform a hydrotest with product as our media, does anyone know the relationship of the density of fuel oil to elevated pressure, and the relationship between the density and temperature?
Thanks
Ian

Using the CRC Handbook compressibility and thermal expansion values for C14/C15 alkanes, indicates that the developed pressures on heating would be around 10 atm/oC.

Leak testing is one thing, ASME pressure testing is another.
Use water for the hydro. It tends to be a messy operation when leaks develop and you don't shut down the exercise because of a fire hazard.

Dont see that compressibility is a drama.. oil is used more on hydraulic systems under pressure than water. using oil (fuel oil, diesel etc) on systems which cannot be contaminated with oil is common practice..AYBEE
