    Hydraulic pressure test. Pressurization speed 5 bar/s

    Hi there. I am new here and this is my first post. I have received a pressure test procedure and the pressurization and depressurization speed are 5 bar/s and 10 bar/s. I am not sure if these values come from any standard or are the good engineering practices for pressure test speed. Could you...
