Valve testing as per API 6A PSL 3G 2010-11-02
My vendor is offering the Body Gas test as per API 6A PSL 3G in which the method to detect the leak is by sniffing probes over the areas of leakage suspected.
Valve maintenence - Service Testing versus Pressure Testing 2010-11-02
When a gate valve is newly manufactured I can understand why it needs a full pressure test to ensure the integrity of the casting or forging and to proove the pressure containment ability.
Valve will do this 2010-11-01
Building a system which involves an increase in internal pressure via an air tank in order to extend a series of telescoping tubes, and a subsequent full release of pressure back to atmosphere.
Block and Bleed Valves 2010-11-01
Pressure request for installation of double block and bleed valves? It is neccessary to install those valves on the low pressure lines or you can get away with just a block valve and a drain?

Flowable fill to abandon a buried waterline 2010-11-01
For larger diameter buried waterlines that we need to remove from service (16" diameter and larger), we specify that a flowable fill should be used to fill the pipe.
Water Main Leakage Test - Calculate theoretically 2010-11-01
Recently witnessed a pressure test followed by the leakage test. Pressure dropped from 161psi to 159psi for 5,710 ft of 8-inch DI pipe.
