This Recommeded Practice (RP) applies to all parts of a pipeline or pipeline facility including line pipe, pump station piping, terminal piping, compressor station piping, metering station piping, delivery station piping, regulator station piping, appurtenances connected to line pipe, appurtenances connected to facility piping, fabricated assemblies, valves, tees, elbows, reducers, flanges, and any other pipeline equipment or appurtenances.

This RP does not apply to pumping units, compressor units, breakout tanks, pressure vessels, control piping, sample piping, instrument piping/tubing, or any component or piping system for which other codes specify pressure testing requirements (i.e. ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code, piping systems covered by building codes).

This RP does not address piping systems that are pressure tested with natural gas, nitrogen, or air.

This Recommended Practice (RP) provides guidelines for pressure testing steel pipelines for the transportation of gas, petroleum gas, hazardous liquids, highly volatile liquids or carbon dioxide. The RP provides guidance so that:

• Pipeline Operators can select a pressure test suitable for the conditions under which the test will be conducted. This includes, but is not limited to, pipeline material characteristics, pipeline operating conditions, and various types of anomalies or other risk factors that may be present.
• Pressure tests are planned in order to meet the overall objectives of the pressure test.
• Site-specific procedures are developed and followed during all phases of the pressure testing process.
• Pressure tests consider both personnel safety and environmental impacts.
• Pressure tests are implemented by qualified personnel.
• Pressure tests are conducted in order to meet stated acceptance criteria and pressure test objectives.
• Pressure test records are developed, completed and retained for the useful life of the facility.

Users of this RP should be aware that further or differing requirements may be necessary for some applications. Nothing in this RP is intended to inhibit the use of engineering solutions that are not covered by the RP. This may be particularly applicable where there is innovative developing technology. Where an alternative is offered, the RP may be used, provided any and all variations from the recommended practice are identified and documented.

This recommended practice covers the pressure testing of new and existing liquid petroleum pipelines. It recommends minimum procedures to be followed, suggests equipment to be used, and points out factors to be considered during the pressure testing of liquid petroleum pipelines. This recommended practice does not address low pressure pneumatic testing.
This recommended practice suggests procedures that are based on sound engineering judgment, but certain governmental requirements may differ from the procedures set forth in this recommended practice. Such requirements should be ful?lled because this recommended practice is not intended to supersede or override them.
