Hydro test B31.3 345.4.2 (c)

[Mohd Siraj]

Dear all,

Would appreciate if somebody clarify with example,

for me both paragraph same meaning because both the paragraph contain 1.5 test pressure??

(c) if the test pressure as defined above would produce

a nominal pressure stress or longitudinal stress in

excess of the yield strength at test temperature or a

pressure more than 1.5 times the component rating at

test temperature,

the test pressure may be reduced to

the maximum pressure that will not exceed the lesser

of the yield strength or 1.5 times the component ratings

at test temperature.
