APPD. FOR. CONSTR
Purpose : This procedure covers the hydrostatic pressure testing activity of Gate Valves.
Authority : The AVK Quality Assurance has the authority to change or modify this procedure
Until the final approval from the client/ CSD.
Test Position : 2” to 12” on the Test bench in Horizontal Position and 14” & above with blind flanges in
Vertical position.
All steel valves NPS 6” and larger shall be pressure tested in a horizontal position, i.e., with stem in vertical
position. (Please specify test position for less than NPS 6).
2) Close both ends of the valve ‘V’ by operating hydraulic valve ‘Y’
3) Switch on the pumps and then open valve ‘A’ & ‘E’
Shell Test :
1) Open the valve ‘V’ fully by using hydraulic control valve ‘X’
2) Open valve ‘B’ and close valve ‘C’- fill the valve ‘V’ with water, after filling completely
it rises up and allow water to flow out by operating valve ‘C’ until all air escape out.
Water flows through ‘C’ and drains through the drain spout.
3) Raise the pressure to 2xRWP (500 PSI) the required using pressure regulating valve ‘F’.
4) Clean the external surface of the valve ‘V’ with air, by using air blower.
5) Pressure holding duration according to API 598 - 60 secs for 6" and below,
120 secs for 8" to 12", 300 sec's for 14" and above.
6) Check for pressure drop and any visual leakage in the valve.
3) Operate valve ‘F’ to raise pressure to 1.5xRWP (375 PSI) the required.
4) Pressure holding duration according to API 598 - 60 secs for 6" and below,
120 secs for 8" to 12", 300 sec's for 14" and above.
5) Clean the external surface of valve ‘V’ with air, by using air blower.
4) Pressure holding duration according to API 598 - 60 secs for 6" and below,
120 secs for 8" to 12", 300 sec's for 14" and above.
5) Clean the external surface of valve ‘V’ with air, using air blower.
9) Unclamp valve ‘V’ take out the valve and dry it with air blower.
CALLIBRATION
1. ALL THE GAUGES HAVE A RANGE SUCH THAT THE REST PRESSURE IS WITHIN
20% TO 80% OF THE FULL RANGE.
2. THE GAUGES SHALL BE CALIBRATED BEFORE TESTS AND SHALL BE VALID FOR
SIX MOTNHS.
QC Checks
QC has to do random monitoring of pressure testing to make sure the integrity of testing.
