Good day, Would anyone be willing to educate me on what the pressure test requirement is for a manufactured 2 7/8" EUE coupled pup joint? The joint is made from 4130 mechanical tubing. I can figure out the calculation for plain end, but I am not sure about threaded and coupled. Thanks so much. JP

I have used API line pipe(LP) gauges and plug fittings. They are similar to NPT's. Please, anyone correct me if I am wrong. Regards,
