Dear Sajit
The test pressure producing hoop stress of 90% of SMYS is for newly constructed in-plant piping. There are several exceptions to this value in case the line is limited by flanges, valves or other component. Furthermore, this 90% of the SMYS value is not applicable for lube and seal oil piping, vacuum piping, flare lines. In conclusion, the test pressure shall not be less than the minimum test pressure per ASME B31.3 paragraph 345.4.2. This is the value should aways be remembered
