    PSV Set Point Tolerance ASME SEC 1

    Hi All, Per ASME SEC 1 code, set pressure tolerance for a PSV setting between 301 PSI to 1000 PSI is +/- 10 PSI. For a Consolidated model# 2755B-2-X1-F1-WSC-RL PSV (Flange), do we need to follow ASME SEC 1 or SEC VIII code if same is being tested using air as the medium at our local valve...

    PRV Set Pressure

    Hi All, It's understood that the computed set pressure for a pressure relief valve during pop test is the average of at least the last three measured set pressures once established and stabilized. Based on the "average set pressure" achieved, the valve repair shop performing the test should...

    Test Gauge Failure

    Hi All, An Ashcroft test gauge model#1082(pressure range 0-1500 PSI) with a 0.25% accuracy FSO was set up for calibration on an Ametek DWT having an accuracy of 0.1% of nominal value and was found to be within 0.25% tolerance, tested okay. However, same(gauge) was sent to a third party for...

    Perfomance Testing on a 19000 PRV

    Hi All, We are currently performing testing for set pressure indication on an assembled 19126M pressure relief valve and failed to set at the desired set pressure having inconsistent readings each lift. Apart from inconsistent readings, the valve itself did not passed the acceptable test for...

    HydroTest Clarification

    Hi All, I'm performing a hydro test on a ANSI Class 150# control valve at 435 PSI according to the Manufacturer's procedure and each time I need to pressure up above 435 PSI(approx 440 PSI) in order for the test to stabilize and allow the valve to pass the test without falling below the...

    Butterfly Valve

    Hi All, Can someone advise of a method,not procedure,to hydrost a butterfly 14" valve. I need to open the valve and when partially or fully open,the butterfly will be projecting on either sides of the valves making it difficult to adapt a flange to perform a body test on both sides.For the seat...
