Hydrotesting Requirements of B31.3
I have a hydrotest problem. We have a tubing spec. with a design code of ASME B31.3 designed for a maximum pressure of 15,000 psig. We have successfully hydrotested our system at 22,500 psig. (1.5 times design) for several of our systems. However, one system uses Kalrez seats in the valves...- kbob
