Abstract
ASME B31.3 requires leak testing of all piping systems other than Category D systems. For piping in Category D Fluid Service, the piping may (at the Owner's option) be put in service without a leak test and examined for leakage during the initial operation of the system. This is an initial service leak test. For all other piping, the following options are available:
