SAFETY Al pressure testing is to be carried out in approved test area, Every precaution must be taken during pressure testing to ensure the safety of all personnel in the vicinity of the test area. Wear safety glasses at all times when testing. Hydrostatic body test pressure is to be increased in a controlled manner until final test pressures are achieved, i.e. for initial tests increase pressure in 1,000psi increments increasing pressure slowly between increments, ‘When lifting components correct handling practices must be used at all times. TEST MEDIA AND CONDITIONS All test equipment used for inspection, tests, reference standards and pressure gauges: shall meet or exceed Oliver test and calibration requirements. Test pressure measuring devices shall be either pressure gauges or pressure’ transducers, and shall be accurate to at least + or - 14% a full scale range as detailed within Working Procedure 5. Pressure gauges will have a minimum face diameter of 4" and measurements shall be made at not less than 25% and not more than 75% of the full gauge range. : ‘The maximum calibration interval for the pressure gauges shall be as detalled within Procedure 5. All hydrostatic pressure tests shall be chart recorded. The chart retordér shall be used in conjunction with the master gauge to + or - 4% of full-scale deflection. All tésting shall be conducted at ambient temperature,fivervciive OllveristIeS i ertuizsatiewalves Title: Section: Rev: Works Procedure | Procedure for testing to API6A | WP 20 (147 Zero_ PSL level 3 |Page 2 of 2 Date Effective: Date revised: Revisions are detailed at the rear | 25" February 2014 of this procedure.

Howard 25/02/2014 | Test media shall be tap water with a chloride content of less than 30 PPM and a temperature between 3 ~ 26 degrees Celsius, Care shall be exercised during all times of the handling and testing of cdiponénts so’as not to damage any seal surfaces, threaded parts or coated systems HYDROSTATIC BODY TEST The valve shall be subject to a hydrostatic body test consisting of two (2) pressure cyciés with a reduction of pressure to zero between cycles. & All valves must be in the partially open position. During each pressure cycle the valve shall be pressurised to 1.5 x MAX C.W.P. and held for a minimum of three minutes for the first cycle, and fifteen minutes for the second cycle.» The holding time shall not start until the pressure has been reached and stabilized. The valve and pressure monitoring gauge shall have been isolated from the pressure source and all exterior surfaces shall have been dried, ‘Acceptance criteria; no visible leakage during the hold time, HYDROSTATIC SEAT TEST sind ‘The valve shell be subject fo @ hydrostatic seat test pressure at 1.0 x MAX C:W/P.'of the’ valve, Each valve shall have one seat tested at a time, with the valve bore downstream from the seat being tested open to the atmosphere. Each seat shall be subject to a minimum of three tests with a reduction in pressure to zero between tests. Holding periods for the first test shall be three minutes and fifteen minutes for the second and third. The holding time shall not start until the pressure has been reached and stabilized. The valve shall be operated under full differential pressure after each of the first two hold periods, ‘Acceptance criteria; no visible leakage, with a steady gauge and stabie chart. NOTE Following all testing the valves shall be thoroughly dried with air. CERTIFICATION ; A pressure test certificate, stating test pressure, time period of testing tor the Valve components, will ‘accompany a chart recording ofthe testing, (Valve Body and Valve seats)
