Test Pressure
Except as provided in paragraph 345.4.3, the
hydrostatic test pressure at any point in a metallic
piping system shall be as follows:
(a) not less than 1 ½ times the design pressure;
for design temperature above the test temperature,
the minimum test pressure shall be calculated by Eq.
(24), except that the value of ST /S shall not exceed
6.5:

Systems (API Exam Preparation Training)
where:
P = internal design gage pressure
PT = minimum test gage pressure
Rr = ratio of ST/S for pipe or components without established ratings, but
shall not exceed 6.5 ratio of the component pressure rating at the test
temperature to the component pressure rating at the component design
temperature for components with established ratings, but shall not exceed
6.5
S = allowable stress value at component design temperature (see Table A-1)
ST = allowable stress value at test temperature
