We manufacture API 6A gate valves and Wellhead equipments. Here we use Nitrogen to perform high pressure static tests. It is mentioned (in API 6A) the gas could be nitrogen,methane,air or other mixtures of gases.
I'm wondering how would it be if I replace Nitrogen with Air?Would the oxygen...
I am working on PR2 testing ,i have a problem.API 6A Annex F (F1.8 b) notes that:
1."Gas testing is required for equipment for rated working pressures of 69,0 MPa (10 000 psi) and higher "
2.and it assumes all the dynamic tests on valves at minimum or maximum rated temperature should be...
