Did anybody come across "Dan Crowl" formula to calculate the Energy stored into a pipeline to be Pressure Tested ?
the target is to calculate the minimum safe distance from the system to be tested.
thanks

I have always used the rough rule-of-thumb for a safe distance during the test... two zip codes.
