    This document provides specifications for pneumatic testing of piping works. It outlines procedures for circuit monitoring, exclusions from testing, acceptable test mediums, required test pressures, blind requirements, test pack preparation, testing preparations, the test procedure, reporting requirements, and safety considerations. Pneumatic testing must be performed at 110% of design pressure using a nonflammable, nontoxic gas like nitrogen or compressed air. Specific equipment, isolation methods, documentation, and approvals are necessary to ensure the safety and integrity of the testing process.

    SCOPE
    This Project Standard and Specification prescribes minimum requirements on
    pneumatic test procedure and acceptance criteria of piping works.
    REFERENCES
    Throughout this Standard the following dated and undated standards/codes are
    referred to. These referenced documents shall, to the extent specified herein,
    form a part of this standard. For dated references, the edition cited applies. The
    applicability of changes in dated references that occur after the cited date shall
    be mutually agreed upon by the Company and the Vendor. For undated
    references, the latest edition of the referenced documents (including any
    supplements and amendments) applies.

    2. ASME SECTION IX Welding and Brazing Qualifications
    3. ASME SECTION XIII Div 2, AT-502
    DEFINITIONS AND TERMINOLOGY
    Category D fluid service (per ASME B31.3) A fluid service in which all the
    following apply:
    - The fluid hanged is nonflammable, nontoxic, and not damaging to human
    tissues.
    - The design gauge pressure does not exceed 10.35 bar.
    - The design temperature is between -29C and 186.
    Category M fluid service (per ASME B31.3) A toxic fluid service in which
    exposure to very small quantities of the fluid in the environment can produce
    serious irreversible harm to persons on breathing or bodily contact, even when
    prompt restorative measures are taken.
    Damaging to human tissues (per ASME B31.3) A fluid which, under expected
    operating conditions, can harm skin, eyes, or exposed mucous membranes so
    that irreversible damage may be done unless prompt restorative measures are
    taken.
    Design pressure The pressure of each component in a piping system which is
    not less than the pressure at the most severe condition of coincident internal or
    external pressure (minimum or maximum) expected during service.

    Test pressure The pressure does not exceed stress intensity of yield strength
    of each component in a piping system at test temperature and should not be
    lower than design pressure.
    UNITS
    This Standard is based on International System of Units (SI) except where
    otherwise specified. However, nominal sizes of piping component shall be in
    accordance with inch system.
    PNEUMATIC TESTING
    Circuit Monitoring and Checking
    For pneumatic testing of circuits, access to the area of the test shall be limited to
    only the personnel directly involved in the test or personnel involved in the
    inspection and monitoring.
    During the pressure test the total circuit shall be inspected and tested for any
    leaks. If any leaks are found on flanged, threaded, plugged or welded joints the
    system pressure shall be totally released prior to any rectification work starting.
    Disciplinary action shall be taken against any individual and/or supervisor
    authorizing and/or undertaking work on the pressurized system.
    For flanged joint testing during pneumatic testing of circuits the flange joints shall
    be hermetically sealed by means of adhesive paper tape and a pinhole made in
    the tape to permit easy detection of leaks.
    The following equipment and components shall not be included in the system,
    and this equipment shall be isolated from the test section.
    a. Rotating equipment such as pumps, compressors and turbines.
    b. Safety valves rupture discs, flame arrestor, and stream traps.
    c. Pressure vessels with sophisticated internals.
    d. Equipment and piping lined with refractoriness.
    e. Storage tanks.
    f. Filters, if filter element(s) is not dismantled.
    g. Heat exchangers of which tube sheets and internals have been designed for
    differential pressure between tube side and shell side.
    h. Instrument such as control valves, pressure gages, level gages, and flow
    meter. (Excluding thermocouples)

    Exclusions
    The followings are excluded from the testing requirements of this specification :
    a. Any package unit previously tested by the vendor in accordance with the
    applicable codes.
    b. Plumbing systems, which are tested in accordance with the applicable
    plumbing codes.
    c. Lines and systems which are open to the atmosphere such as drain, vents,
    open discharge of relief valve, and atmospheric sewers.
    TEST MEDIUM
    The gas used as test medium shall use the nonflammable and nontoxic gas such
    as N2 or inert gas, if not compressed air.
    TEST PRESSURE
    The test pressure shall be 110% of design pressure and according to test
    pressure. Equipment for testing should be have as following:
    - Air Compressor
    - Flexible hose
    - Calibrated Pressure gauge
    - Oil filter
    - Temporary piping set
    - N2 cylinder, if required
    - Safety valve
    Note:
    Safety valve required for pneumatic testing, rapid opening or pop action of over
    pressure, should be installed and connected with an adequate system of piping
    not containing valve which can isolate tested system.
    BLINDS FOR PRESSURE TEST
    1. Plain test blanks shall be used with 3mm flat gaskets for blanking flat face,
    and raised face. Provide full face blanks and gaskets for Class 150
    connections. However, where permanent operational blinds are installed, they
    may be used for pressure testing, provided they are rated the testing
    pressure.
    2. Plate material, extra length bolts and gaskets, which are made at the Job Site
    could be used the testing.
