Note TEST EQUIPMENT SAFETY ASSESSMENT (Notes 1-7) ... Perform along with SAIC-A-2011.
On New & Existing Projects, Test Equipment shall be thoroughly inspected & certified for safety (new & existing test equipment).
1
Responsible persons shall be Project QA/QC Mgr and designated Hydrotest Engineer and Mechanical Inspector(s).

Regular inspection/maintenance of appropriate test equipment is mandatory to assure Safety on Company Projects. Use of
2 existing equipment is permitted if equipment does not exhibit signs of deterioration & is regularly inspected (Per Note 7) and meets
GI-2.102 Safety Requirements. Recommended is use of corrosion inhibitor when equipment is not in use for long periods.

Check component corrosion & wear (especially small fittings, nipples, etc) on existing equipment, especially test pumps. A thorough
visual exam includes accessible internal components (use mirror & sunlight technique), a UT exam or hammer test (never hammer
3 pressurized piping). Perform this exam in presence of COMPANY Inspection for new projects just prior to testing existing manifolds.
Fittings and components found with heavy corrosion or thinning (verified wall loss) shall be replaced. Heavily Corroded fittings give a
dull sound when hammer tested (new steel = ringing sound). Perform UT on suspect fittings or replace ASAP.

Existing Manifolds proposed for use on projects without detailed code construction documents (Engineering calcs & Inspection) must
be certified for fitness and safety. Existing test reports alone are not acceptable support documents. Code construction detail,
calculations (SIS sheet), appropriate Inspection and NDE are necessary for Safety. Unknown piping schedules can be determined by
4
using a UT Thickness meter. Ratings for most fittings are stamped/visible. Weld quality is verified by VT or RT. Test manifolds
frequently used, older than two years and stored in ambient conditions are highly susceptible to accelerated internal corrosion and
thinning of components due to corrosive nature of test waters used in many locations. Detail Manifold Arrangement Dwgs.

Fabricated test components (blinds, spools, welded couplings, etc) are of proper code construction, receive inspection and are
properly identification/marked for their pressure rating, inspection acceptance/fitness (Insp Ok, initial, date). Never allow uninspected
5
non-code test component use. Components found unfit for testing (non-code, under thickness or schedule & without calculations,
deteriorated, damaged, corroded) are reported and removed ASAP from Company Projects.

Manifold design shall include limiting factor for all components (isolation valves, piping, fittings, tubing, etc). that are calculated (by
design) to provide a PRESSURE RATING of 20% above the maximum expected system for test. Isolation valves shall be one Class
higher than systems tested. Example: Project's greatest System Class = Class 900, CS (Normal), pressure rating 2,220 psi (test
pressure = 3,350 psi). A manifold is needed to meet COMPANY safety requirements. Step 1: Maximum test pressure for Class 900
6 systems = 2,220 x 1.5 = 3,330, round up to nearest increment of 25 = 3,350 psi. Step 2: Manifold minimum design pressure (manifold
test pressure) SHALL = 3,350 x 1.2 = 4,020 psi. Step 3: Manifold isolation valve must be Class 1500 minimum (one class above Class
900) See ASME B16.34 Tables & Para 7.2 = a 110% pressurization rule for valve seat closure tests. Step 5: Components (piping,
fitting, tubing, etc) are rated for 4,020 psi minimum and have engineering calcs to support their use. Manifolds without construction
details (arrangement drawings) are not accepted until CERTIFIED & RATED for Safety.

Perform safety checks for Notes 1-6 at least yearly* & before the start-up of pressure testing on projects. *Observation: The
Diving Industry requires appropriate test equipment maintenance inspections on an annual basis. Scuba Tanks are pressurized
frequently to 3,200 psi, often on a daily basis. Annual inspections use remote visual means (fiberscope). Corroded Tanks are replaced
7
before they fail. Pressure Testing equipment sees similar and even greater pressures and service use. Safety of Test Crews, Inspectors
& personnel on Projects deserve similar consideration. Keep Test equipment in good condition (Coated as needed, clean, legibly
rated for pressure, legibly marked "as inspected, and regularly inspected).

PM-G000-1520-
A roster is kept for Pressure Relief Valves (M&TE) on
0007, Sec-6.4.1
projects.

D Pressure Gages and Recorders

A minimum of two pressure gages are required for test systems, with
accuracy within 5% of one another.
Note 1: When large systems are tested, Inspection personnel will
determine the need for additional gages. SAES-A-004
Note 2: Elevation changes (hydrostatic head Para 7.1.5 / S-
D1
considerations) & hot weather create pressure testing problems with PM-G000-1520-
frequent popping of relief valves. For this reason, gage accuracy 0007, Sec-8.1.5
within 2% is best. Note 3: Careful handling of
delicate instruments as test gages is practiced by test crews. No
gage damage or mishandling is found.
