SCOPEa. This standard establishes a method
for conducting hydrostatic shell
testing of pressure regulators having
bodies, bonnets, and spring cases
manufactured from any materials.b. This standard covers the hydrostatic
testing of pressure boundary parts, as
components, and regulators that are
in an assembled state, for use by
manufacturers, users, specifiers and
approval bodies to validate the
structural integrity and leak tightness
of the regulator's pressure retaining
parts for manufacturers.c. This standard does not cover proof
of design hyrdotesting, which is
addressed in ANSI/FCI 79-1-2003
