First time post here.
I was wondering if anyone could provide direction. ASME B31.3 Para 345.2.2a states that "A leak test shall be maintained for 10 minutes....and all joints...be examined for leaks."
Question: Where is "examining for leaks" defined? If I have a 1/2" thick girth seam, what is...
Does ASME B31.3 Appendix X preclude testing a bellows expansion joint pneumatically at a reduced pressure as is permitted throughout the rest of the code for other components?
