API TR 17TR 11:2015

This document provides guidance to the industry on allowable pressure loading of subsea hardware components that can occur during hydrotesting of subsea flowlines and risers and during pre-commissioning leak testing of these systems. This document includes guidance to avoid unexpected loading conditions and the resulting potential for equipment damage, failure, or leakage (either immediate or delayed leaks) or reduced service life. This document and the examples provided give the user guidance for evaluating subsea hydrotesting scenarios where test pressures are often well above maximum allowable operating pressure (MAOP).
