When a pressure vessel is completed and undergoes a hydrostatic test, does it need to have a safety valve installed?
Airtightness is required! No water pressure needed!
No, add a safety valve; the pressure used in the water test should be higher than the pressure at which the safety valve activates. Also, how should the test be conducted? Airtightness testing is generally not necessary either. Pay attention to work pressure, as well as the order of values for the relief valve setting pressure, design pressure, and hydrostatic test pressure.
During the hydrostatic test, it is not necessary to connect a safety valve. If the container needs to undergo a airtightness test, it is required by the relevant regulations to be equipped with a safety valve. However, care must be taken to set the discharge pressure of the safety valve at an appropriate level, in order to prevent it from activating frequently during tests.

According to the regulations, safety accessories generally need to be fully installed during the airtightness test; it is not mandatory, but how many manufacturers do so?
It is only specified that a safety valve must be installed for the airtightness test; one is not required for the pressure resistance test. Safety must be taken into account during the pneumatic test, and emergency plans should be established.
Do not install for hydrotesting. Only install a safety valve if it is airtight.
The safety valves mentioned here are different from the ones designed for this purpose; the latter are installed in accordance with the operating conditions as a protective device for pressure testing, to prevent overpressure
No need; the set pressure of the safety valve is definitely below the test pressure, so it’s not possible to conduct a pressure test. Additionally, the safety valve is a separate component and does not need to be pressure-tested along with the equipment
