If using ring type joint (RTJ) plates, refer to Figure A-31 on page 63 and Table A-
3 on page 63.
WARNING
To minimize the risk of damage to the machine, workpiece, and
personnel injury, use technical judgment and discretion when
increasing the clamping pressure above the recommendations listed in
Table 3-2.
The test pressures listed by valve class represent machine capability
and may not apply to your valve to be tested. Actual valve test
pressures may be lower than the pressures listed in Table 3-2 due to
the valve material, intended operating temperature, and potential other
factors. Refer to the valve manufacturer’s specifications for the correct
testing pressure. Failure to do this could result in property damage or
personnel injury.
Determine the correct hydraulic load by following these steps with Table 3-2:
1. Locate the size of the valve to be tested in the valve nominal diameter col-
umn (example: 4" [102 mm]).
2. Choose the appropriate required test pressure in the header (example: 1,125
psi [78 bar]).
3. Identify the cell in the valve diameter row and clamp pressure column to
find the hydraulic gauge pressure required to seal the valve being tested
(example: 2,800 psi [193 bar]).
