I am installing a new PSV on an HP methanol pump discharge line and I need to prepare leak test P&IDs for new flanges. This is a brownfield job therefore my issue is there are no isolations downstream of the PSV so I was wondering how to leak test the PSV flanges as it is not possible to create an isolated inventory around the new flanges.

Can you clarify your requirement ? Do you mean you wish to test the tightness of the SRV seats or the integrity of the SRV flanges ? Please also advise the type of SRV you have.
