1318.5.2 Required Test Pressure

The test pressure for pressure gases and vacuum systems shall be 1.5 times the system operating pressure, but not less than a gauge pressure of 150 psi (1034 kPa). The test pressure shall be maintained until each joint has been examined for leakage by means of a leak detectant that is safe for use with oxygen and does not contain ammonia.
