Impact of temperature on container pressure testing?
Thread Content
When conducting stress tests, how much impact does the ambient temperature have on the test results?
The impact isn’t very significant, but as the temperature rises, the pressure increases. With 2,000 cubic meters of water, the pressure rises by less than one kilogram within half an hour of maintaining the pressure
The ambient temperature must not be too low; there are standards specifying this, especially for carbon steel and low-alloy steel materials
