API 598 Testing Requirement

The importance of API598 test sequence and requirements lies in ensuring the safety and reliability of valves under various working conditions. API598 standard specifies in detail the inspection, testing and other test requirements of valves, including valve pressure tests of elastic valve seats, non-metallic valve seats and metal valve seats. Through strict test sequence and requirements, the sealing performance of valves under different pressures and working conditions can be verified to ensure their stable operation under high pressure and low temperature environments.

  • Description

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

Type of Experiment Allowable Leakage Rate
Low Pressure Seal (Gas) Bubble Method Detection, No Visible Leakage
High Pressure Seal (Liquid) ≤0.1ml/min(DN≤100) or ≤0.8ml/min(DN>100)
