Q

During hydrostatic pressure test, If potable water is not available or if immediate draining and drying is not possible, water having a very low chloride level (e.g. steam condensate), higher pH (,,,,), and inhibitor addition should be considered to reduce the risk of pitting

A

> 10

17
Q

During hydrostatic pressure test, for sensitized austenitic stainless steel piping subject to polythionic stress corrosion cracking, consideration should be given to using ,,,,, solution for pressure testing (see NACE RP0170).

A

an alkaline-water

18
Q

A number of failures have been attributed to brittle fracture of steels that were exposed to temperatures ,,,,,,and to pressures…….. of the required hydrostatic test pressure.

A

below their transition temperature

greater than 20 %

19
Q

Most brittle fractures, however, have occurred on the ,,,of a high stress level (the first hydrostatic or overload)

A

first application

20
Q

Special attention should be given when testing ,,,, steels, especially ,,,,,, because they may be prone to or any other metal that may be prone to ,,,,,,,,,,, per the damage mechanisms listed in API 571 or because of ,,,,,, due to thickness or geometry considerations

A

low-alloy,,,,,,,2 1/4 Cr- 1Mo,,,,,,,,,temper embrittlement,,,,,, high triaxial stresses

21
Q

To minimize the risk of brittle fracture during a pressure test, the metal temperature should be maintained at ,,,,,,above the MDMT or MAT for vessels that are more than 2 in. (5 cm) thick and ,,,, above the MDMT or MAT for vessels that have a thickness of 2 in. (5 cm) or less

A

least 30 °F (17 °C) ,,,,,10 °F (6 °C),,,

22
Q

The test temperature need not exceed (,,,,,,) unless there is information on the brittle characteristics of the vessel material indicating a higher test temperature is needed

A

120 °F (50 °C)

23
Q

When hydrotesting solid or clad austenitic stainless steel, the water temperature should ,,,, to prevent possible chloride stress corrosion cracking

A

not exceed 120 °F (50 °C)
