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. The Department is further aware of the benefits to USA 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, recommended practices, and technical reports to the
greatest extent possible. Standard for Use of the International System of Units (SI): The Modern Metric
System, published by the American Society for Testing & Materials as IEEE/ASTM SI 10-97, and future
revisions, will be the reference guide for definitions, symbols, abbreviations, and conversion factors.
It is the policy of ISA to encourage and welcome the participation of all concerned individuals and interests
in the development of ISA standards, recommended practices, and technical reports. 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, recommended practices, and technical reports that ISA
develops.
EVEN IF ISA IS UNAWARE OF ANY PATENT COVERING THIS STANDARD, THE USER IS
CAUTIONED THAT IMPLEMENTATION OF THE STANDARD MAY REQUIRE USE OF TECHNIQUES,
PROCESSES, OR MATERIALS COVERED BY PATENT RIGHTS. ISA TAKES NO POSITION ON THE
EXISTENCE OR VALIDITY OF ANY PATENT RIGHTS THAT MAY BE INVOLVED IN IMPLEMENTING

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 B16.1, ASME B16.34 and
ASME B16.42 with the exception that the test requirements of paragraph 4.8 are not allowed by ASME
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 ANSI/ISA-75.05.01-2000, "Control Valve Terminology."
3.2 The analog or digital pressure measuring instruments used in testing shall be of the indicating or
recording type.
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.
ISA–75.19.01–2001 — 10 —
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;
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 boundary, 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.
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. Assembled
valves having bodies and bonnets or cover plates that have been separately tested in accordance with
sections 5 through 7 prior to having been painted or coated, may be painted or coated prior to final testing
in accordance with sections 5 through 7.
Wrought welded-on nipples, flanges, increasers and reducers need not have their protective coating
removed for hydrostatic shell testing.
— 11 — ISA–75.19.01–2001
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 test
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 clause 7.4.
CAUTION: IF AIR IS PRESENT IN THE TEST FLUID, THERE ARE HAZARDS INVOLVED AND
APPROPRIATE PRECAUTIONS SHOULD BE TAKEN.
5.2 The minimum duration of test pressure before start of inspection shall be as follows:
Class 150 & Class 250 thru Class 900 thru Class 2500 &
Nominal Valve Size
Lower 600 1500 Higher
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.
ISA–75.19.01–2001 — 12 —
7 Test pressures
7.1 Hydrostatic shell test pressures for steel and nickel-base alloy, and other 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 B16.34. For other materials 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 B16.1.
7.3 Hydrostatic shell test pressures for nodular (ductile) iron valves shall be in accordance with ASME
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 manufacturer, 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
increment1.
