FAQ
Important Types of Valve Inspection and Testing
To give you an idea of what testing is applied to determine the efficacy and the health of valves in industrial applications, we’ll go over those evaluation measures.
Valve Shell Test
The valve is checked for leaks by having it partially open and subject to hydrostatic pressure at 50% higher than the rated working pressure. A specified amount of pressure is applied during this test. There are also specific water temperatures in effect (41°F to 122°F). In order to pass the test, there must not be any leaking from the valve. When Ventilwerkstoff includes stainless steel, chloride ion content must be less than 100 ppm.
Valve Seat Leak Test
This test has the valve completely closed with the inlet subject to the hydrostatic pressure with the valve body filled with the testing fluid at a certain temperature.
The outlet side of the valve is monitored for any leaks. Pressure cannot be lower than the 110% maximum allowable pressure at 100 °F. The duration of applied pressure is usually one minute. For the valve to pass the test, it cannot leak from the stem and packing. A minimal amount of leakage from the sealing surface of the disc and seat is acceptable.
Pressure Safety Valve Inspection
This valve inspection observes inlet and outlet piping with pressure safety valve removal.
The following parts are checked for issues of deposit accumulation, corrosion, cracking, pitting, roughness, or other damage:
- External surface
- Discharge nozzle
- Flanges
- Spring and bellows
Backseat Valve Test
For this test, the valve is fully opened while the valve ends are closed. Pressure cannot be lower than the 110% maximum allowable pressure at 100 °F.
The testing duration lasts 15 seconds for a valve that’s less than 2 inches and for valves more than 2 inches, it lasts 60 seconds. During this process, the packing gland is closely inspected while it is under the backseat test pressure. It passes if there are no leaks from the valve or from the packing gland.
The Types of Valve Testing Standards
Below is a breakdown of some of the most common valve testing standards:
API 598: Valve Inspection and Test
API 527: Seat Tightness of Pressure Relief Valves
ASME B16.34: Valves – Flanged, Threaded, and Welding End
ASME PTC 25: Pressure Relief Devices
FCI 70-2: Control Valve Seat Leakage
ISA-S75: Hydrostatic Testing of Regelventile
ISO 5208: Industrial Valves, Pressure Testing of Valves
MSS SP61: Hydrostatic Testing of Steel Valves
MSS SP70: Cast Iron Gate Valves, Flanged, and Threaded Ends
MSS SP71: Cast Iron Swing Check Valves, Flanged, and Threaded Ends
MSS SP78: Cast Iron Plug Valves, Flanged, and Threaded End
MSS SP80: Bronze Gate, Globe, Angle, and Check Valves
MSS SP85: Cast Iron Globe and Angle Valves
