Hi,

Anybody familiar with assessment of hydrostatic test pressures of Piping Systems?
Design code is EN 13480 - 3, so test pressure to be assessed as per EN 13480 - 5. Considering equotion 9.3.2-2 we need to know whether the cold design pressure, or the reduced hot design pressure applies in this formula.

Many thanks in advance.

Regards,
FKE
