1. Experimental Items and Sequence

· Shell Test: 1.5 times the nominal pressure, to verify the strength of the valve body
· Sealing Test:
Gate valve: requires two-way testing (one end is pressurized, the other end is open)
Butterfly valve: when there is a flow requirement, the forward direction (1.1 times the pressure difference) and reverse direction (80% pressure difference) need to be tested
2. Leakage Rate Standard
