Book Description
This text presents a method for the quantification of the hazards associated with the conduct of pressure tests and with the determination of protective barricades to prevent injury. The hazard assessment involves the determination of the energy stored in a pressurized system and the destination of this energy following the fracture of one or more components of the system. Computational methods are given for estimating this stored energy, the size and speed of missiles generated by such a failure and the magnitude of any accompanying blast. Procedures are given for determining the loads which protective structures must resist and design information is provided for their construction. General advice is provided on the construction and use of pressure test facilities, both fixed and mobile, and on the operational procedures which are required if the testing is to be carried out safely.

Book Description
Pressure vessel and piping systems are widely used throughout industry and research laboratories and contain a very large concentration of energy, and yet, despite the fact that their design and installation comply with federal, state and local regulations and recognized industrial standards, there continue to be serious pressure equipment failures. There are many reasons for pressure equipment failure: degradation and thinning of materials with usage, aging, hidden flaws during fabrication, etc. Fortunately, periodic testing and internal and external inspections significantly improve the safety of a pressure vessel or facility. A good testing and inspection program is based on development of procedures for specific industries or types of vessels. This paper describes the elements that should be a part of a pressure testing safety program and the requirements that it should address. The program should comply with pressure safety standards and include the requirements for inspecting pressure vessels, establishing and implementing a written pressure system test work permit, maintaining safety in the testing area, developing in-place pressure testing procedures, keeping records for pressure test calculations and results, and evaluating the system's internal and external integrity.
