Is the purpose of a Sprinkler and Standpipe test in NFPA13 and NFPA14 for:
Structural integrity testing or leak testing?
I was reading online and in the engineering forums here for ASME piping and hydrotesting (determining pressure amounts for test, etc)
Is the 200psi for 2 hrs only for...
Good Morning,
Trapped air in a sprinkler or hvac (condesner, chilled water) system and hydrostatic testing.
Hydrostatic test: min 200psi to max 450psi, Water with trapped air (cannot determine amount of air)
Reading online, testing with air at 30psi is equivalent to a 150 water test. (the...
Hello,
Expansion Tank
Hot water system, starting at 70 degrees or domestic water temperature.
Testing a radiant heating panel system.
Start: 70 Temp, 40PSI
Finish. 120 Temp
Includes an expansion tank and pump. Pex piping.
Will the system of a hot water system, which increases in pressure...
I was told my numbers were wrong.
The bulk modulus or coffecient of expansion was wrong.
Not that this anaylsis is needed anymore, but here are the results.
Air will expand as stated.
Air compression and thermal expansion do not effect the above tests for my piping. Only pressure increases...
Thank You for the responses.
I tried to find industry standards for testing radiant heating panels. I could not find. Do you have any resources?

Hello,
I am new to this forum but have visited it several times.
This might be a basic question but wanted to ask:
My question is for performing hydrostatic testing for B31.9 Piping, Pex Piping, Radiant heating systems, and standpipe hydro tests. All testing would be anywhere between 15psi...
