8.1 High Pressure Seat Leakage Test Test valve shall be pressurized by water to a pressure approved in the approval drawing, and seat leakage shall be checked. The duration of the test shall be per TABLE-2 and TABLE-3. Test method of applying the test pressure for each type of valve shall be as follow. 8.1.1 Gate and Globe valves a. Test shall be done to check if there is any leakage of water, after filling the valve body with water, close the valve, open outlet side, keep the body filled with water. Apply test pressure shown in TABLE-1 from inlet side and maintain for duration shown in TABLE-2. b. c. Gate valve, the test pressure shall be applied successively on each side of the closed valve. Light oil shall be thinly applied to the body and disc seating surface for protection of scratch when seat leakage test. But after finish of seat leakage test, this light oil should be removed by cleaner.

8.1.2 Swing check valves a. Test if there is any leakage after closing valve, open inlet side of the valve, apply test pressure shown in TABLE-1 in outlet side of the valve and maintain for duration shown in TABLE-3. b. Light oil shall be thinly applied to the body and disc seating surface for protection of scratch when seat leakage test. But after finish of seat leakage test, this light oil should be removed by cleaner. 8.1.3 Judgment Criteria For valve with metal to metal seats; except butterfly valves, the allowable leakage rate for TABLE- 4. 8.2 Low Pressure Seat Leakage Test In accordance with clause 6.1(Scope of Test), this test is applicable for the manually operated valve. Test fluid is as shown in the clause 6.2.2. Low pressure test method is as shown below. 8.2.1 Gate valve a. Apply test pressure (Air at 80 Psig) to inlet side of closed valve, fill water in outlet side and maintain for duration shown in TABLE-2 observe any bubbles through seating surface. Test shall be carried out in both directions. b. For the valves having a flow direction specified in the approval drawing, air pressure to be applied from the flow direction. Test as listed in 8.2.1.a. in one direction only. DOC. NO : PK - ITP -01 REV. NO : 0

Water shall not be allowed to collect in pockets, purge with air. 8.4 Permissible seat test leakage & back seat test leakage rate shall be as shown in TABLE-5. 9. OPERATION TEST Assembly functionally inspection shall be carried out on valve as follows. 9.1 General Requirements 9.1.1 Easy operation shall be obtained without any irregular torque to close the valve. 9.1.2 Gland packing shall be equally fastened, move from one side to the other side before fully fastened. 9.1.3 The valve shall be surely operated with manual operation or when valve operating device has been installed.

But the purchaser keeps the right to require to increase a percentage of the check if necessary. 11. TREATMENT AFTER TEST AND INSPECTION For the valve which has passed tests and inspection, openings of bores shall be protected so as to prevent dust, dirt and other foreign material from entering the valve. The surface of the gasket shall be protected from damage. 12. RUST PREVENTION AND PAINTING INSPECTION The following shall be rust prevention and painting confirmed. a. For rust prevention, application of the desiccant shall be confirmed in accordance with purchaser specification. b. Painting applied per purchaser standard shall be in accordance with painting specification c. Visually check that color of paint and scope of painting shall be as specified. d.
