A8 Temporary supports are installed if they were determined to be required per SAES-L-150.


A9Expansion joints and spring hangers or spring supports are provided with temporary restraints where needed to prevent excessive travel or deformation under the test loads.

SAES-L-150,Para. 6.4

A10All joints including welded joints are left exposed for visual leak detection during the strength test. (NOTE: This excludes joints that will be subject to 24-hr recorded test. )


A7

Equipment Excluded from Pressure TestThe following equipment are excluded from the in-situ pressure testing of the tested system. a) Rotating machinery, such as pumps, turbines and compressors;b) Strainers and filter elements;c) Rupture disks and pressure relief valves;d) Locally mounted indicating pressure gauges, where the test pressure will exceed their scale range;e) Equipment that cannot be drained;f) Instrument Devices.

SAES-A-004,Para. 7.2

A6

Components which interfere with filling, venting, draining or flushing shall not be installed until after line flushing and pressure testing are completed. These include orifice plates, flow nozzles, sight glasses, venturies, positive displacement and turbine meters and other in-line equipment.

D2 The relief valve(s) are tested, dated, and tagged within one week prior to the pressure testing.

D1 Relief valve(s) of adequate capacity are set to relieve at 5% above the hydrotest pressure.

Pressure rating or design of test manifold components, ie: isolation valves, pipe nipples, are not less than 20% above the system test pressure.

G.I.-2.102,Para. 5.5

A13If isolation valves are used in lieu of blinds, provisions aremade to ensure that no overpressuring can occur in equipment that is not being tested, due to possible valve leak.

A14

Materials Safety Data Sheets or Chemical Hazard Bulletins are reviewed for all chemicals handled such as corrosion inhibitor, bactericide, chlorine, and oxygen scavenger, and a written procedure to safely handle chemicals during testing, and proper disposal of the chemicals after testing, is approved prior to start of the work. Personal protective equipment shall be utilized as shownon these sheets and bulletins.

G.I.-2.102,Para. 5.9

A16

Where a road parallels within 30 m (100 ft.) of an aboveground pipeline being tested, traffic shall be diverted or stopped during the test. If this is not practical, the area Loss Prevention offices should be contacted to confirm that the test can be conducted safely.

G.I.-2.102,Para. 5.11

Pressure Gages and Recorders

Thermocouples are installed to obtain accurate pipe metal temperature measurements and to determine the acceptance of the pressure test where pressure variations due to test water temperature changes occur, such as in cross-country pipelines.

E2Pressure gages and pressure recorders are calibrated within one (1) month prior to the test. Stickers shall be applied indicating the latest calibration date.


E1

A minimum of two pressure gages are required for the test system. Their accuracy shall be within 5% of one another.(NOTE: When large systems are tested, Inspection personnel will determine the need for additional gages. )


E3 A Test gauge is located at the bottom of the equipment to inable the reading of the test pressure, including the head of test water.

G.I.-2.102,Sec.4

E4 All gages have a range such that the test pressure is within 30% to 80% of the full range.
