i need to perform a calculation to show what is the maximum allowable test pressure without exceeding material minimum yield strength.
According ASME B31.3 How should i perform this.
B31.3 2018 345.2.1(a). Yield is found in table A-1/A-1M. Rewrite 304.1.2(a) eq. (3a) or (3b) to exclude those factors not present during a hydro (e.g. W and c).

- You never get what you expect, you only get what you inspect.
There are four or five different equations that can be used with piping for stress calculations. They are best suited to different wal:OD ratios and even for different materials so they each give slightly different values.
