Huitt (From a paper dated October 4, 2001 in response to leak test questions that were raised on a project). In determining the leak test requirements for piping systems a governing Code needs to be determined. The reason being that leak test requirements vary from Code to Code. In a March 12, 2001 letter I wrote, "The difference, and distinction, as to which Code should apply to a particular project lies with the definition and scope of the project itself. If, with respect to a particular project, the Design includes only the installation of a refrigeration system, would apply. If a project's scope of work consists of an office, laboratory, research facility, or any combination thereof, and possibly would apply.

3 P = internal design gage pressure S T = stress value at test temperature S = stress value at design temperature (c) if the test pressure as defined above would produce a stress in excess of the yield
