Comments:
Notes: OD = outside diameter, SMYS = specified minimum yield strength, SMY = specified minimum yield, DWT = deadweight tester. For test sections containing more than one type of pipe, the maximum test pressure at low point and minimum test pressure at high point and resulting SMYS need to be calculated for each type of pipe.

Notes: OD = outside diameter, wt = wall thickness, SMYS = specified minimum yield strength, MP= mile post, p = pressure, E = elevation, H = highest, L = lowest. aFor test sections containing more than one type of pipe, the 72-percent SMYS minimum test pressure and resulting percentage of SMYS need to be calculated for each type of pipe and used in determining the maximum allowable operating pressure.
