Tabla Api 598

The document outlines test requirements and specifications for pressure testing valves according to standards API 598, API 6D, ANSI B16.34, and MSS SP-61. It details the required test types for different valve types and materials, including shell, backseat, and seat hydrostatic tests as well as seat leakage tests. It also provides test pressures, minimum test durations, and maximum allowable leakage for valves of various sizes and pressure classes.

(*Backseat test required for all valves that have backseat feature except bellows-sealed valves.)
(^For metal-seated ball & butterfly valves the LP closure test is required and the hydro closure test is optional.)
1) MSS SP-61 allows LP closure test on valves below 600LB for DN300 and smaller, and on all pressure classes for DN100 and smaller. ANSI B16.34 allows
an LP closure test on valves below 600LB for DN200 and smaller, and all pressure classes for DN100 and smaller.
