How is pressure testing carried out on valves welded under high pressure?
After welding, the valve is inspected together with the system.
Welded valves are usually subjected to pressure testing along with the pipeline system after the pipelines have been welded; the testing standards can be referred to API598, which is available for free download online
High-pressure welding valves are usually not pressure-tested separately; they are generally tested together with the pipes
For high-pressure welding valves, when conducting pressure testing after replacing certain spare parts but before they are put into use, should the standard be the pressure in the pipeline or the pressure of the valve itself?
