The minimum test pressure for the low side of the system shall be the low side
design pressure and the minimum test pressure for the high side of the system
shall be the high side design pressure, unless the high side of the system, can-
not be isolated from the low side of the system in which case the entire system
shall be pressure tested to the low side design pressure.
The test pressure after removal of pressure source shall be maintained for at
least 1 h with no decrease of pressure indicated by the test gauge, with test
gauge resolution not exceeding 5% of the test pressure.
