I have a pipeline with a design pressure of 1200 psi, and a pressure rating of #600
According to ASME B 31.4, the hydrostatic test pressure for a pipeline is 1.25 times the internal design pressure at that point. Could anyone advise which case of the following is correct for the hydrostatic test pressure of the pipeline
Case 1
The design pressure is 1200 psi
Therefore, (hydrostatic pressure test shall be 1.25 X 1200 psi = 1500 psi)
Case 2
The rating of the pipeline is #600 (design pressure of 1440 psi)
Therefore, the hydrostatic pressure test shall be 1.25 X 1440 psi = 1800 psi
