1. Purpose

The purpose of these procedures is to ensure that pressure tests are conducted safely
and effectively, in compliance with PILIN Pressure Test Requirements for fabrication Pressure
Vessel No. 33-V61. They cover pressure testing of new and existing pressure systems. They
apply to workers, supervisors, custodians, and the pressure systems program manager.

2. Procedures

Pressure tests are performed to ensure the safety, reliability, and leak tightness of
pressure systems. A pressure test is required for a new pressure system before use or an
existing pressure system after repair or alteration. A hydrostatic test is performed by using
water as the test medium, Pressure tests must always be performed under controlled
conditions, following an approved test plan, and documented in a test record. A single
approved test plan may be used for several similar tests, but a separate test record is
required for each.

Hydrostatic Test Procedure

Hydrostatic is the preferred method of pressure test at PILIN.

Step Person Action

Planning

1. Technician Determines test pressure after consulting the project engineer.

Note: when hydrostatic testing is performed on an existing pressure system,
the original hydrostatic test pressure must not be exceeded.

2. Technician Completes pressure test plan and submits for approval

3. Supervisor Approves plan

4. Pressure systems Approves plan (not required for routine testing of existing systems)

Step Person Action

Performing

5. Technician Ensures the pressure gauges used have current calibration stickers
Removes all persons not directly involved with the test from the immediate
6. Technician test area
Removes pressure relief valves or non-reclosing relief device from the vessel
7. Technician or test boundary where the test pressure will exceed the set pressure of the
valve
OR
Holds down each valve by means of an appropriate test clamp and
pressurizes both sides of non-reclosing relief devices
Installs temporary, higher-rated devices where practical

8. Technician Installs the calibrated test gauge so it is visible at all times

Ensures the skillet blanks or test plugs or clamps are appropriate for use and
9. Technician are free of obvious defects

10. Technician Fills and vents system as necessary to remove as much air as practical
Ensures that water used for the test is at not less than ambient temperature,
11. Technician but in no case less than 21°C
Pressurizes the system, raising the pressure in the system gradually until the
12. Technician designated test pressure is achieved
Maintains this test pressure for 60 minutes before inspection. Then, if test is
13. Technician above maximum allowable working pressure (MAWP), reduces to MAWP
and while making a full thorough inspection for leaks.
Ensures the metal temperature at the time of the hydrostatic test does not
14. Technician exceed 48°C.
If there is evidence of structural distortion, either rejects the system or
15. Technician repairs as advised by the inspector
If there is leakage in the system, performs the following as appropriate:
16. Technician Ensure repairs is performed and returns to step 12 or
Rejects the system
When the test is completed, vents the test pressure to atmosphere and
17. Technician returns relief devices to normal configuration
Recording

18. Inspector Signs pressure test record

Completes pressure test record and submits copy to the pressure systems
19. Technician program manager

20. Technician Submits copies of the test plan and test record to the custodian

2.2 Test Pressure

There are many types of pressure systems designed under American Society of Mechanical
Engineers (ASME) code, and repaired under the National Board Inspection Code. The test pressure
of various pressure systems must be calculated based on following.

Table 1 Test Pressures for New Pressure Vessel and Piping Systems

System Code Hydrostatic

Boiler – power ASME Section I 1.5 × MAWP

Boiler – heating ASME Section IV 1.5 × MAWP

Pressure vessel ASME Section VIII

Division 1 1.3 × MAWP

Division 2 1.43 × MAWP

Power piping ASME Section B31.1 1.5 × design pressure

Process piping ASME Section B31.3 1.5 × design pressure

Building services piping ASME Section B31.9 1.5 × design pressure

3. Forms
The following forms are required by Attachment#1

4. Record keeping
The following recordkeeping requirements apply for this procedure:

The custodian of a given pressure system must maintain copies of test plans and
records for five years.

The pressure systems program manager maintains copies of all pressure test plans and
records, permanently.
