Thanks to all for responding. I was more concerned with the effects on the valves, etc. Not necessarily the body, but more the packing, etc. I think Molten and the rest answered my question. Thanks again.
Hydrostatic pressure testing on piping systems. Should all valves, fittings, etc on the system be designed to withstand the 1.5x requirement? Seems like this would add a lot of cost to a job considering the system will most likely never see the 1.5x pressure during operation.
Assume a system...
