3.3 Shell Pressure Test

The shell test shall be made by applying the pressure inside the assembled valve
with the valve ends closed, the valve partially open, and any packing gland tight
enough to maintain the test pressure, thereby, except for bellows seal valves,
testing the stuffing box.
Test Fluid : Water
Test Pressure : Maximum operating pressure x 1.5 Times in according
to ASME B16.34 or approved drawing
Holding time : See Table 4
Acceptable criteria : For Shell Tests, Visually Detectable Leakage Through
The Pressure Boundary Walls And Any Fixed Body Joint Is Not Permitted.

3.4 Seat Closure Test

3.4.1 low Closure seat Test
the pressure shall be applied successively to each side of the closed
valve with the other side open to the atmosphere to check for leakage at the
atmospheric side of the closure
Test Fluid : Air
Test Pressure : Shall be subjected to an air seat test at a
minimum gauge pressure differential of 4 to 7 bar (60-100 psig).
Holding Time : See Table 4
Acceptable criteria : The allowable rate for leakage of test fluid at the
seat-sealing surface interface, for the duration of the tests, is listed in Table 5.

3.4.2 High Closure seat Test

The procedure for the high-pressure closure test shall be the same as
the procedure for the low-pressure closure test except that, in the case of a
liquid test, leakage shall be detected when drops, not bubbles.
Test Fluid : Water
Test Pressure : Maximum operating pressure x 1.1 Times in
according to ASME B16.34 or approved drawing
Holding Time : See Table 4
Acceptable criteria : The allowable rate for leakage of test fluid at
the seat-sealing surface interface, for the
duration of the tests, is listed in Table 5.

3.5 Back Seat Test

The backseat test shall be performed by applying pressure inside the assembled valve
with the valve ends closed, the valve fully open, and the packing gland loose or packing
not installed.
Test Fluid : Water
Test Pressure : Maximum operating pressure x 1.1 Times in
according to ASME B16.34 or approved drawing
Holding Time : See Table 4
Acceptable criteria : The allowable rate for leakage of test fluid at
the seat-sealing surface interface, for the duration of the tests, is listed in Table 5.

a For the liquid test, 1 mL is considered equivalent to 16 drops.
b There shall be no leakage for the minimum specified test duration (see Table 5). For liquid test, 0
drops means no visible leakage per minimum specified test duration. For gas test, 0 bubbles
means less than 1 bubble per minimum specified test duration.
