RE: Pipeline Air test procedure
B31.8 allows air tests under certain conditions & restrictions. I would avoid an air test on a pipeline if at all possible.
You can do a site search here, air tests have been discussed in much detail on the forum.
As far as a procedure, generally companies develop their own internal procedures for testing. If you are working with a contractor, ask them, they should have a procedure for air testing that will include the equipment and the relevant safety procedures that are required.
