HydroTest

United States customary units are a system of measurements commonly used in the United States and were developed from Imperial Units
The metric system is an internationally adopted decimal system of measurement also known as the International System of Units (SI)
CSA Z662 - 15 Oil and gas pipeline systems is a Standard that covers the design, construction, operation, maintenance, deactivation, and abandonment of oil and gas industry pipeline systems that convey a) liquid hydrocarbons, including crude oil, multiphase fluids, condensate, liquid petroleum products, natural gas liquids, and liquefied petroleum gas; b) oilfield water; c) oilfield steam; d) liquid or dense phase carbon dioxide; or e) gas.
ASME B31.4 - 2016 Pipeline Transportation Systems for Liquids and Slurries This Code prescribes requirements for the design, materials, construction, assembly, inspection, testing, operation, and maintenance of piping transporting liquids between production facilities, tank farms, natural gas processing plants, refineries, pump stations, ammonia plants, terminals (marine, rail, and truck), and other delivery and receiving points.
ASME B31.8 - 2016 Gas Transmission and Distribution Piping Systems. This Code covers the design, fabrication, installation, inspection, and testing of pipeline facilities used for the transportation of gas. This Code also covers safety aspects of the operation and maintenance of those facilities.
Code recommended pipe material. User is responsible for proper selection of pipe material according to requirements of the design code. For using Non- Pipeline Materials, user should refer Clause 4.3.5.4 CSA Z662 Code and Table 403.2.1-1 ASME B31.4 -2016 and consider all material requirements of design code under consideration
Grade refers to divisions within different types of seamless and ERW pipe and designates mechanical properties such as minimum yield and tensile strengths. CSA Z662-15 limits 107% of the specified minimum yield strength of the pipe for grades greater than Grade 555 Refer Table 8.1 CSA Z662-15
Nominal Pipe Wall Thickness (in inches for USCS unit system and mm for SI unit)
User to choose joint type from following two options
1) Butt-welded : Generally limited by pipe material yield strength.
2) Flanged: Limited by the 1.5 time of flange rating as determined by ASME B16.5 for corresponding materials
Nominal Pipe Size as per ASME B36.10 (in inches for USCS unit system and mm for SI unit)
Refer Clause 4.3.10 for CSA Z662-15 Refer Clause 403.2 for ASME B31.4 -2016
Refer Clause 4.3.10 for CSA Z662-15 Refer Clause 403.2 for ASME B31.4 -2016
This is maximum allowable stress level in terms of %SMYS according to the design code under consideration. User has the option to input any value for allowable stress level
This is buffer pressure to compensate any unwanted fluctuation that may be produced in pressure during the test.
User can input data for test section and relevant parameters manaually
User can input data for test section and relevant parameters by uploading spread sheet based data. User to first download spread sheet format ``Give File name of Spread sheet`in which (information) data should be entered and uploaded here

Pressure bearing capacity of flange at particular test conditions
(F*MOP)
Min Pressure
'F' is Test pressure multiplier factor according to design code
Min Test Pressure
(Adjusted to 8.7.3.1)
"TP"
Total Pressure.
Sum of "minimum intended test pressure" and "pressure head"
percentage of maximum operating pressure
FP = TP + PFA
'SUM OF Total Pressure and Pressure Fluctuation Allowance'
PM = PPC - TP - PFA
Difference between "Pipe Pressure Capacity" or "Flange Pressure Capacity" and "Final Pressure with PFA" Negative value will be displayed in Red
"% of SMYS at t1
percentage of specified minimum yield strength of pipe material
"% of SMYS at t2
Adjusted value of %SMYS after taking into account groove and thread allowance, if applicable
QP = FP / F
