Carbon Steel system
165 psig
150°F
Normal Fluid Service
Is the hydrostatic test pressure 247.5 psig or 255 psig?
I have always calculated the hydrostatic test pressure in accordance with Equation 24 and used the allowable stresses of the pipe material (A106 Gr. B).
Is this correct...
I have an Alloy 825 pipe system -
DT= 654°F; DP = 2820psig.
TP = 1.5*(2820)*(23.3/17.484) rounded up to next 25 psig increment or 5650 psig.
ASME B16.5 Class 1500 flange rating @ 100°F equals 3750psig. (Table F2-3.8)
Per Para 2.6 - I can system test these flanges to 1.5*3750 = 5625psig...
