Test pressure

Pressure to test the static strength and/or tightness of a device.

The test pressure Test pressure Pressure to test the static strength and/or tightness of a device. refers to the level of pressure when carrying out a strength test for pressurized components. The pressure test is carried out to prove that the component Component A component that is required for the safe operation of equipment and protective systems without performing an autonomous function itself. has sufficient strength reserves in the operating state. For this purpose, the applied test pressure must be above the maximum permissible operating pressure Operating pressure Operating pressure is the pressure existing at normal operating conditions within the system being protected. .
