    The document outlines test requirements and specifications for pressure testing valves according to valve type, material, pressure class, and size. It specifies required tests like shell hydro tests and seat hydro/pneumatic tests. It provides test pressures in psi according to valve material and pressure class standards like API 598 and 6D. Minimum test durations are given in minutes varying by valve size. Maximum allowable leakages for closure tests are also provided in drops/minutes for liquids and bubbles/minutes for gases depending on valve material and size standards.
