Hello Dear Professionals,

I got promotion as engineer of pre commissioning and commissioning. But after getting into this position only i got lot of doubts that i missed to ask my manager during the preparation of documents in the last project.

1. For the leak test during pre commissioning, how the test pressure value is selected (In my last project we did 90% of design pressure, so i have contacted with him. As per his information it was taken from API standard. But he didn't told me the API number so i couldn't find it.) If possible can you guys help me on this one.

2. Is there any standard is available for inerting or nitrogen purging acceptance criteria.

If you know about these things please let me know. It will be helpful for my career. Thanks in adavance to all dears.
