    Hydrotest Exceeds ASTM Pressure for Flanges

    Hey LittleInch! Thanks for your response! To answer your questions, I'm doing an engineering evaluation for a client... So I'm not sure what the repercussions of this will be on their end, but I would love to find them an acceptable solution to justify not scrapping them. Yes, the flanges...

My concern is that the 600# flanges were tested to a max pressure of about 2300 psig in some instances, whereas the ASTM guidelines identify the max test pressure to be 2225 psig...
