    Pipe Category and Hydrotest

    Hi All, I am new in the piping design world, and I was asked to design a spool with a hydrotest package for a gas line operating at 1,200 psi at a north region in Canada. I choose the following materials for the spool: · The pipe can be a NPS 1 XS A-106 (WT 0.133 in) · A NPS 2: NPS 1 reducer...
