9.3.2.1.5 Equipment which is not to be tested shall be either disconnected from the piping or isolated by blank
flanges or other means during the test.
NOTE A valve may be used, provided the valve (including its closure mechanism) is suitable for the test pressure.
9.3.2.1.6 No piping shall be subject to any form of shock loading such as hammer testing when undergoing
pressure testing.
9.3.2.1.7 When dial indicating and recording pressure gauges are used, the dial shall be graduated over a
range of approximately double the intended maximum pressure, but in no case shall the range be less than
1,5 or more than 4 times that pressure.
9.3.2.1.8 When components are to be pressure tested, the indicating gauges shall be connected to the
component, or to the component from a remote location, with the gauges readily visible to the operator
controlling the pressure throughout the duration of pressurising, testing and depressurising or venting of the
component.
NOTE 1 For large piping systems where more than one gauge is specified or required, a recording type gauge is
recommended.
NOTE 2 It is recommended that a small pressure relief valve set to 1,1 times the test pressure is attached to the
pressure test system in order to avoid excess pressure being developed.
9.3.2.1.9 All indicating and recording type gauges used shall be calibrated to the appropriate gauge
standard.
9.3.2.1.10 Piping which has been repaired following the hydrostatic pressure test shall be subjected again to
the specified pressure test after completion of the repair and any required post-weld heat treatment, unless
otherwise agreed.
9.3.2.2.1 The test pressure shall be not less than the greater of the two values determined by the following:
f test
Pt = 1,25 ⋅ PS ⋅ (9.3.2-1)
f
or
Pt = 1,43 ⋅ PS (9.3.2-2)
where
2
f is the nominal design stress for design conditions at design temperature, in MPa (N/mm ) (but
limited to time-independent values, see paragraph before NOTE 1);
2
ftest is the nominal design stress for design conditions at test temperature, in MPa (N/mm );

EN 13480-5:2012 (E)
Issue 3 (2014-08)
The ratio ftest/f depends on the material of the part under consideration and/or on the variation of the
temperature TS along the piping, the value of ftest/f to be used for calculation of Pt shall not be less than the
smallest ratio obtained considering the different materials and/or the different temperatures TS of the main
pressure bearing parts.
In all cases for each component of the piping the test pressure shall be limited to such a level that it does not
generate a design stress greater than that given in EN 13480-3 for testing conditions, by reducing, if
necessary, the test pressure.
When piping is operated in the creep range, Pt is determined by using the time-independent values for the
highest temperature for which time-independent values are available in the harmonised material standards.
NOTE 1 Due to its short duration, the pressure test can confirm the strength of equipment only with respect to the time-
independent failure hazards. It cannot provide any indication on its long-term strength, in particular on its strength against
the degradation of the material with time when the service temperature lies inside the creep range.
The applied test pressure shall include the amount of any static head acting in testing at the point under
consideration.
NOTE 2 However, the static pressure caused by the content of the piping during testing does not need to be taken into
account if it does not increase the test pressure by 5 % at any point.
For each test system, the test pressure shall be limited to such a level that it does not generate a design
stress greater than that given in EN 13480-3 for the test conditions by reducing, if necessary, the test
pressure. For further details, see EN 13480-3.
It shall be ensured that any temporary and/or permanent structures are designed to support the loads created
by the hydrostatic test.
Prior to the hydrostatic test, the strength of temporary supports shall be verified.
Air pockets in the piping system shall be avoided. Adequate measures shall be taken to prevent air pockets in
pipe sections during testing.
As a general rule, the hydrostatic test shall be performed with water. The quality of the water shall be such as
to prevent both corrosion and any residual impurities.
In most cases the hydrostatic test may be performed with general supply water.
For hydrostatic tests of austenitic stainless steel piping systems, the halogen content (chlorides, bromides,
iodides) shall not exceed 50 mg/l.
The pressurizing fluid shall have a temperature sufficiently high that the risk of brittle fracture is avoided, see
EN 13480-2.
Where a pressurising fluid other than water is used, care shall be taken to identify any additional hazards
associated with the fluid. All of the following conditions shall be satisfied: the pressuring medium shall
a) be non-toxic,
b) have a flash-point 60 °C or above (closed cup test) and shall not be utilised within 25 °C of that flash
point,
c) have a temperature at least 10 °C below atmospheric boiling temperature and at least 5 °C above
solidification point.
For drinking water supply piping, drinking water should be used for the pressure test.

The manufacturer shall carry out a review of the manufacturing documents to verify that all applicable
examinations and tests specified in clauses 7 to 9 have been satisfactorily performed and reported.
9.3.1 General
All piping constructed in accordance with this European Standard shall be subjected to a proof test to
demonstrate the integrity of the finished product. The proof test shall always be carried out, under controlled
conditions, with appropriate safety precautions and equipment, and in such a way that the persons
responsible for the test are able to make adequate inspections of all pressurised parts.
The proof test shall be a hydrostatic pressure test, except where a hydrostatic pressure test is harmful or
impractical. In these instances, a pneumatic pressure test (see 9.3.3) or other tests (see 9.3.4) shall be
performed.
9.3.2.1.1 Where practicable, the finished piping system shall be pressure tested after the installation has
been completed and all inspections have been performed. If it is not practicable, due to size or mode of
manufacture, to pressure test a complete piping system, the test procedure to be followed shall be agreed at
the design stage.
9.3.2.1.2 All joints shall be left uninsulated and unlined and exposed for examination during pressure
testing, except that joints and tubes previously tested in accordance with this standard may be insulated or
covered. A primer for corrosion protection shall be permitted, provided, it does not prevent the clear
examination of the joint under test.
9.3.2.1.3 Piping designed for vapour or gas shall be provided with additional temporary supports, if
necessary, to support the weight of the test liquid.
9.3.2.1.4 Expansion joints shall generally be pressure tested in both, the manufacturers shop and in place
in the piping system. Test pressure shall be in accordance with EN 14917 when tested in the manufacturers
shop and be subjected to a test pressure according 9.3.2.2.1 when tested with the piping system.
Expansion joints may be provided with restraints to stabilise the bellows against squirm whilst being tested.

9.3.2.1.5 Equipment which is not to be tested shall be either disconnected from the piping or isolated by blank
flanges or other means during the test.
NOTE A valve may be used, provided the valve (including its closure mechanism) is suitable for the test pressure.
9.3.2.1.6 No piping shall be subject to any form of shock loading such as hammer testing when undergoing
pressure testing.
9.3.2.1.7 When dial indicating and recording pressure gauges are used, the dial shall be graduated over a
range of approximately double the intended maximum pressure, but in no case shall the range be less than
1,5 or more than 4 times that pressure.
9.3.2.1.8 When components are to be pressure tested, the indicating gauges shall be connected to the
component, or to the component from a remote location, with the gauges readily visible to the operator
controlling the pressure throughout the duration of pressurising, testing and depressurising or venting of the
component.
NOTE 1 For large piping systems where more than one gauge is specified or required, a recording type gauge is
recommended.
NOTE 2 It is recommended that a small pressure relief valve set to 1,1 times the test pressure is attached to the
pressure test system in order to avoid excess pressure being developed.
9.3.2.1.9 All indicating and recording type gauges used shall be calibrated to the appropriate gauge
standard.
9.3.2.1.10 Piping which has been repaired following the hydrostatic pressure test shall be subjected again to
the specified pressure test after completion of the repair and any required post-weld heat treatment, unless
otherwise agreed.
9.3.2.2.1 The test pressure shall be not less than the greater of the two values determined by the following:
f
Pt 1,25 PS test (9.3.2-1)
f
or
Pt 1,43 PS (9.3.2-2)
where
f is the nominal design stress for design conditions at design temperature, in MPa (N/mm2) (but
limited to time-independent values, see paragraph before NOTE 2);
ftest is the nominal design stress for design conditions at test temperature, in MPa (N/mm2);

The ratio ftest/f depends on the material of the part under consideration and/or on the variation of the
temperature TS along the piping, the value of ftest/f to be used for calculation of Pt shall not be less than the
smallest ratio obtained considering the different materials and/or the different temperatures TS of the main
pressure bearing parts.
In all cases for each component of the piping the test pressure shall be limited to such a level that it does not
generate a design stress greater than that given in EN 13480-3 for testing conditions, by reducing, if
necessary, the test pressure.
When piping is operated in the creep range, Pt is determined by using the time-independent values for the
highest temperature for which time-independent values are available in the harmonised material standards.
NOTE 1 Due to its short duration, the pressure test can confirm the strength of equipment only with respect to the time-
independent failure hazards. It cannot provide any indication on its long-term strength, in particular on its strength against
the degradation of the material with time when the service temperature lies inside the creep range.
The applied test pressure shall include the amount of any static head acting in testing at the point under
consideration.
NOTE 2 However, the static pressure caused by the content of the piping during testing does not need to be taken into
account if it does not increase the test pressure by 5 % at any point.
For each test system, the test pressure shall be limited to such a level that it does not generate a design
stress greater than that given in EN 13480-3 for the test conditions by reducing, if necessary, the test
pressure. For further details, see EN 13480-3.
It shall be ensured that any temporary and/or permanent structures are designed to support the loads created
by the hydrostatic test.
Prior to the hydrostatic test, the strength of temporary supports shall be verified.
Air pockets in the piping system shall be avoided. Adequate measures shall be taken to prevent air pockets in
pipe sections during testing.
As a general rule, the hydrostatic test shall be performed with water. The quality of the water shall be such as
to prevent both corrosion and any residual impurities.
In most cases the hydrostatic test may be performed with general supply water.
For hydrostatic tests of austenitic stainless steel piping systems, the halogen content (chlorides, bromides,
iodides) shall not exceed 50 mg/l.
The pressurizing fluid shall have a temperature sufficiently high that the risk of brittle fracture is avoided, see
EN 13480-2.
Where a pressurising fluid other than water is used, care shall be taken to identify any additional hazards
associated with the fluid. All of the following conditions shall be satisfied: the pressuring medium shall
a) be non-toxic,
b) have a flash-point 60 C or above (closed cup test) and shall not be utilised within 25 C of that flash
point,
c) have a temperature at least 10 C below atmospheric boiling temperature and at least 5 C above
solidification point.
For drinking water supply piping, drinking water should be used for the pressure test.

Heavy walled piping shall not be pressurised until the metal temperature is approximately equal to that of the
pressurisation medium. If the toughness of the material, or of the component, imposes a limit on the test
temperature or on the rate at which the pressure is increased, account shall be taken of this and documented
in the test data certificate.
9.3.2.2.2 The pressure of piping under test shall be increased to a value of approximately 50 % of the
specified test pressure. Thereafter, the pressure shall be increased in steps of approximately 10 % of the
specified test pressure until it is reached. The piping system shall be held at the test pressure for a period of at
least 30 minutes. The pressure shall then be reduced to the maximum allowable pressure PS and all
components and welded joints subjected to a close visual examination of all surfaces and joints. During this
examination, the piping shall show no signs of general plastic yielding.
9.3.2.2.3 During the hydrostatic test, the external surface of the piping system shall be kept in such a
condition that leaks can be detected.
The hydrostatic test shall be passed if no leakage or visible plastic deformation is observed.
9.3.2.2.4 The pressure shall be relieved before draining. Where vacuum conditions can occur when
draining thin wall piping, venting shall be provided to prevent its collapse.
Pneumatic tests shall only be permitted in cases where a hydrostatic pressure test is detrimental to the piping
system or is not practical, i.e.
unacceptable presence of residual water for the process (e.g. ice) or the equipment (e.g. corrosion that may
be detrimental to the stability/usability of the equipment);
technical constraints like loads due to the water weight on either pressure equipment, supports or the
ground that would possibly cause damage.
Performance of pneumatic pressure test shall be decided during design stage. Adequate safety precautions
shall be taken.
Due to the hazard involved in pressure testing using a compressible medium, special consideration shall be
given to factors such as:
a) location of the piping system and its position relative to other buildings, plants, public roads, and areas
open to public and all other equipment and structures in the vicinity of the piping system to be tested;
b) maintaining during the test the highest practicable standards of safety and ensuring that only personnel
involved in the testing have access to the testing area, that if the testing is not performed in a special
room the region in the immediate vicinity of the testing area is sealed off and warning signs used
highlighting the danger zone and prohibited area;
c) resistance of the piping system materials to fast fracture and the absolute necessity of avoiding brittle
fracture;
d) Attention is drawn to the fact that if the gas pressure is reduced to the piping system under test from high
pressure storage, its temperature will fall. Therefore the equipment shall be such that the temperature of
the gas entering the piping systems exceeds the minimum temperature indicated, The metal temperature
at which shall be at least 25 above the brittle fracture temperature required in EN 13480-2:2012, Annex B
for piping systems;

Piping subject to this pressure shall be located in an enclosed and restricted area and adequate measures
being taken to prevent parts shooting away in the case of explosion. Alternatively the piping shall be located in
an area enough far away from any individuals (public or manufacturers employees) such that in the case of
explosion, people will not be affected by the blast (This does not include damage from projectiles).
The pressure shall be gradually increased to a value of 50 % of the required test pressure. Thereafter the
pressure shall be increased in steps of approximately 10 % of the required test pressure until this is reached.
The pressure shall then be reduced after 10 min to the inspection pressure Pi.

Where the alternative 1.1 times the maximum allowable pressure has been used, the pressure shall be

testing shall not be less than specified in Table 8.2-1 including Note g.
Table 9.3.3-1 — Extent of NDT in case of pneumatic pressure test according to 9.3.3
In cases where a hydrostatic or pneumatic pressure test of individual welds (connection welds) would be
detrimental or impracticable they shall be substituted by an appropriate non-destructive test (100 % RT or UT
and 100 % PT or MT). If for specific materials, e.g. glass linings, the calculated stresses in the piping are
lowered to less than 70 % of the nominal stress for the design condition of the piping, this may be taken into
account when the test pressure and the amount of non-destructive testing is specified.
Consideration shall be given to final testing at an early stage in the design cycle, so that arrangements can be
made to ensure that the individual component receive an appropriate test.
The proof test shall be confirmed in a test report. Where the proof test is not carried out using water, the test
medium used shall be recorded.
