Preface

This preface as well as all footnotes and annexes are included for informational purposes and are
not part of ANSI/ISA-S75.19.
This standard has been prepared as part of the service of ISA, the international society for
measurement and control, toward a goal of uniformity in the field of instrumentation. To be of real
value, this document should not be static, but should be subject to periodic review. Toward this
end, the Society welcomes all comments and criticisms, and asks that they be addressed to the
Secretary, Standards and Practices Board; ISA; 67 Alexander Drive; P. O. Box 12277; Research
Triangle Park, NC 27709; Telephone (919) 990-9227; Fax: (919) 549-8288; e-mail:

The ISA Standards and Practices Department is aware of the growing need for attention to the
metric system of units in general and the International System of Units (SI) in particular, in the
preparation of instrumentation standards, recommended practices, or technical reports. The
Department is further aware of the benefits to U.S.A. users of ISA standards of incorporating
suitable references to the SI (and the metric system) in their business and professional dealings
with other countries. Toward this end, this Department will endeavor to introduce SI-acceptable
metric units in all new and revised standards to the greatest extent possible. The Metric Practice
Guide, which has been published by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers as
ANSI/IEEE Std. 268-1992, and future revisions, will be the reference guide for definitions,
symbols, abbreviations, and conversion factors. Certain metric units that are part of the SI
system are in common accepted pressure measurement that is convertible to kilopascals by
multiplying by 100.
It is the policy of ISA to encourage and welcome the participation of all concerned individuals and
interests in the development of ISA standards. Participation in the ISA standards-making
process by an individual in no way constitutes endorsement by the employer of that individual, of
ISA, or of any of the standards that ISA develops.

1 Scope

1.1 This standard applies to control valves having bodies, bonnets, cover plates, and bottom
flanges made of carbon steel, low alloy and high alloy (stainless) steel, nickel-base alloy, cast iron,
and ductile iron.

1.2 This standard establishes requirements and definitions for standard hydrostatic shell testing
of control valves by the valve manufacturer to prove the structural integrity and leak tightness of
the valves' pressure retaining parts, including any closure parts such as the valve body to bonnet
joint, but excluding packings, bellows or other moving seals and packing leakoff connections.
Bellows or similar moving stem seals may be pressure tested after assembly at a pressure to be
agreed upon by the valve manufacturer and the purchaser. The requirements of this standard do
not cover pneumatic and hydraulic actuators and regulators.

1.3 This standard describes and specifies the specific circumstances of hydrostatic shell testing
of control valves and is in accordance with the hydrostatic testing requirements of ASME/ANSI
B16.1, ASME/ANSI B16.34 and ASME/ANSI B16.42 with the exception that the test requirements
of paragraph 4.8 are not allowed by ASME/ANSI B16.34.

1.4 WARNING — Serious bodily harm can be caused by high velocity leaks
through the shell or seals, resulting from the energy stored in the
pressurized fluid and containment equipment. Care should be
exercised to ensure the safety of test and inspection personnel.
Specific safety requirements for conducting hydrostatic testing and
inspection are not within the scope of this standard.

2 Definitions

2.1 control valve: Refer to ISA-S75.05, "Control Valve Terminology."

2.2 test fixture: A test fixture is a device to close off the end connections and/or stem seal areas
of the control valve to allow pressurization for hydrostatic shell testing.

3 Test fixture and instrumentation

3.1 Test fixtures include, but are not limited to the following: plugs with tie-bars and tie-rods,
hydraulic presses, plugs or flanges attached to the pipe connections, bosses or lugs on the valve,
and expandable rubber plugs. For butt welding end valves when end plugs are used, the seal point
shall be as close to the weld end as practical without overstressing the weld preparation.

3.2 The analog or digital pressure measuring instruments used in testing shall be of the indicating
or recording type.

ANSI/ISA-S75.19-1995 9
3.3 The valve manufacturer shall be responsible for maintaining the accuracy of the pressure
measuring instruments.

3.4 Pressure measuring instruments shall be accurate within 3% at test pressure, and analog-
type shall be used between 20% and 80% of their scale range.

4 Test requirements

4.1 The control valve, with or without its actuator, must be complete before hydrostatic shell testing,
except as permitted in 4.2, 4.3, 4.4, and 4.8.

4.2 It is permissible to disassemble the valve after hydrostatic shell testing, provided
a) new gaskets or seals used to reassemble the valve are of the same kind and size;
b) equivalent studs and nuts are used;
c) the same torquing procedure is used, or steps are taken to ensure the same pre-test
bolt loads result; and
d) an air or water leak test at lower than the hydrostatic shell test pressure is performed
to ensure proper gasket installation.

4.3 All cavities pressurized in service shall simultaneously be subjected to the hydrostatic shell
test pressure. Moving stem seals such as bellows, diaphragms, stem, and packing, that may be
damaged by the hydrostatic shell test pressure, or trim parts that do not affect the pressure bound-
ary, need not be installed during testing.

4.4 Valves with welded-on nipples, flanges, reducers and/or increasers shall be hydrostatically
shell tested in accordance with paragraph 4.4 (a) or (d), at the manufacturer's option, unless
paragraph 4.4 (b) or (c) is agreed to by both the valve manufacturer and the purchaser.
a) Hydrostatically shell test the valve alone at the appropriate pressure for its class and
do not retest after welding on any of the nipples, flanges, reducers or increasers.
b) Hydrostatically shell test the valve alone at the appropriate pressure for its class and
retest the valve assembly after welding on any of the nipples, flanges, reducers or
increasers with the pressure in accordance with the specification applicable to the
nipples, flanges, reducers or increasers. The purchaser shall provide the design
pressure and temperature and the applicable specifications to the valve manufacturer.
c) Hydrostatically shell test the valve including all weld-on nipples, flanges, reducers and
increasers with the pressure in accordance with the specification applicable to the
nipples, flanges, reducers and increasers. The valve nameplate and required valve
body marking must then indicate the pressure and temperature limit as determined by
the nipples, flanges, reducers and increasers.
d) Hydrostatically shell test the valve including all welded-on nipples, flanges,reducers,
and increasers with the pressure in accordance with this standard, provided that the
nipples, flanges, reducers and increasers are adequate for that pressure.

10 ANSI/ISA-S75.19-1995
4.5 The valve shall not be painted or otherwise coated with materials capable of sealing against
leakage before the shell tests are completed, except internal linings or coatings included in the
design (e.g., nonmetallic butterfly valve body linings) are permitted. Chemical corrosion protection
treatments are permitted. If valve parts are to be painted for storage, they shall be hydrostatically
shell tested before painting, provided the fully assembled valve is again tested in accordance with
paragraph 4.2 (d). If the presence of purchaser's representative is specified for hydrostatic shell
tests, painted valves may be retested without removal of the paint, unless otherwise agreed to by
the valve manufacturer and purchaser.
Wrought welded-on nipples, flanges, increasers and reducers need not have their protective
coating removed for hydrostatic shell testing.

4.6 The valve shall not be seated on the main seat nor on the back seat during the hydrostatic
shell test.

4.7 If a valve is dual pressure rated (inlet rating higher than outlet rating from causes such as
different wall thicknesses, flange rating, or materials), it may be necessary to separate the high
pressure portion of the valve from the low pressure portion with a temporary barrier and test each
portion at its respective pressure.

4.8 Pressure retaining parts may be hydrostatically shell tested separately if all of the following
conditions are satisfied:
a) all the pressure retaining parts in the valve assembly are hydrostatically tested at the
pressures in accordance with section 7, "Test Pressures;"
b) the hydrostatic test is performed in a manner that simulates all loadings, fasteners, and
restraints present when the part is tested in a completed valve;
c) individual part testing is agreed to by both the manufacturer and the purchaser; and
d) the fully assembled valve is pressure tested in accordance with paragraph 4.2 (d).

5 Test procedures

5.1 After filling the valve with water, which may contain a corrosion inhibitor, or with other suitable
liquid (provided such liquid has a viscosity not greater than water), and venting all air, each valve
shall be pressurized to no less than the pressures given in Table 2 or Table A.1, except as covered
in paragraph 7.4.

CAUTION — IF AIR IS PRESENT IN THE TEST FLUID, THERE ARE HAZARDS

INVOLVED AND APPROPRIATE PRECAUTIONS SHOULD BETAKEN.

ANSI/ISA-S75.19-1995 11
5.2 The minimum duration of test pressure before start of inspection shall be as follows:

Minimum Test Duration

(minutes)

Nominal Class Class Class Class

Valve 150 & 250 thru 900 thru 2500 &
Size Lower 600 1500 Higher

2" & Smaller 1 1 2 3

2-1/2 " thru 4" 2 2 4 5

5 " thru 8" 2 3 5 8

10" & Larger 3 5 8 10

For classes not shown, use next higher class.

5.3 The temperature of the test liquid shall not exceed 52°C (125°F).

6 Acceptance standards

6.1 Any visually detected weeping or leaking through the pressure boundary walls that are part
of the valve body assembly shall be cause for rejection. Leakage through the static seals and
gasketed joints is also cause for rejection unless specifically allowed by the design specifications.

6.2 Distortion due to hydrostatic shell testing that impairs satisfactory functional operation of the
valve shall be cause for rejection.

7 Test pressures

7.1 Hydrostatic shell test pressures for steel and nickel-base alloy valves are calculated by
multiplying the 38°C (100°F) working pressures by 1.5 and rounding off to the next higher 25 psig
(pounds per square inch gage) increment in accordance with ASME/ANSI B16.34. For other ma-
terials within the scope of this standard but not listed in Table 1, and for Intermediate and Limited
Classes, the above method shall be used to determine the test pressure.

7.2 Hydrostatic shell test pressures for cast iron valves shall be in accordance with
ASME/ANSI B16.1.

12 ANSI/ISA-S75.19-1995
7.3 Hydrostatic shell test pressures for nodular (ductile) iron valves shall be in accordance with
ASME/ANSI B16.42.

7.4 For other materials within the scope of this standard but not included in Tables 1, 2, or A.1
and whose pressure ratings are given in a published standard or are determined by the manufac-
turer, the hydrostatic shell test pressures shall be calculated as in paragraph 7.1 or paragraph 7.5,
as applicable.

7.5 The metric equivalents of all test pressures in Table 2 are given in Table A.1 (Annex A) and
are calculated by converting 1.5 times the 38°C (100°F) working pressure in psig to bar and then
rounding off to the next higher bar increment except for values below 10 bar which are rounded off
to the next higher 0.1 bar increment(a).

(a)
1 bar = 100 kPa = 100,000 Pa = 0.1 MPa = 14.5038 psi.
