Why we do hydrotesting on pressure vessel
Published on 10/16/2013
Per ASME code section VIII Div. 1, the code suggests hydrotesting for pressure vessels. The test pressure is 1.3 x Design Pressure(or MAWP)x allowable stress ratio. So what is the purpose? The main goal of the testing is to check and verify the performance of the pressure vessel. Through the testing, people can detect leak location, for example, at the flange joints.
