Author: M.J. Rosenfeld

Year Published: 2013
Abstract: Following its investigation of the San Bruno pipeline accident, the NTSB recommended hydrostatic pressure tests be performed using the spike test format. The California Public Utility Commission has specified that pressure tests performed in conjunction with integrity validation work utilize the pressure spike format. This paper reviews the difference between the pressure spike test and conventional pressure tests, the technical basis for the pressure spike test, what constitutes an effective pressure spike test, limitations of the spike test, regulatory recognition of spike testing, and under what circumstances the pressure spike test is or is not of value
