SCOPE: This procedure covers the pressure testing of Dual plate check Valve.
REFERANCE STANDARDS: API 598, ASME B16.34, ISO 5208,API 6D,API 594
TESTING RIG:
The test rig shall be of such a design that the valves mounted are not subjected to any external
stresses, which result in varying the test results.
TEST FLUID:
The test fluid shall be tap water containing water soluble oil or rust inhibitor with temperature not
exceeding 38°C. Chloride content of water is to be checked once in three months which shall not
exceed 30ppm by mass (API 6D). For low pressure test the test medium shall be Air/Gas.
PRESSURE GUAGES:
Pressure gauges shall be of accuracy ±1.5% of full scale reading (API 6D). The gauges shall be
calibrated at intervals as decided by the organization.
The test pressure gauges shall have a range such that test pressure is within 25 to 75 percent of the
full range.
TESTS REQUIRED: Following are the test required in dual plate check valve,
