Hi everyone!

Could anyone tell me where I can find in the Code ASME VIII Div.1 that it is allowed to test with air (for set pressure testing) relief valves marked for liquid service?

According to UG-134(d)(4), pressure relief valves marked for liquid service shall be tested with water or other suitable liquid. But I was told that exists an exception in the code.

Thanks in advance.
