Gas Pipeline Pressure Testing - Maximum Pressure Drop
Maximum pressure drop is performed by balancing changes in the measured pressure in the test section against the theoretical pressure changes calculated from changes in the measured temperature of the test section.
Ambient temperature swings can cause challenges regarding pressure changes. Temperature gauges must far enough away from exposed piping to avoid erroneous readings.
