DEAR Mr. RAGHURAM,
 
THANKS FOR THE REPLY.
 
REGARDS,

When conditions require that a pressure test will be maintained for a
period of time during which the testing medium in the system would be
subject to thermal expansion, provision should be made for relief of
excess pressure.

I have no idea about any code requirement but normal practice as per
my experience for Valve Setting Pressure is Test pressure plus
lesser of 10 psi (0.69 Bar a) or 7% of the test pressure

Heat tint (temper) colours on stainless steel surfaces heated in air // Heat tint

By Materials & Welding
Introduction The colour formed when stainless steel is heated, either in a furnace application or in the heat affected zone of welds, is dependent on several factors that are related to the oxidation resistance of the steel. The heat tint or temper colour formed is caused by the progressive thickening of the surface oxide layer and so, as temperature is increased, the colours change.   Oxidation resistance of stainless steels However, there are several factors that affect the degree of colour change and so there is no a single table of colour and temperature that represents all cases. The colours formed can only be used as an indication of the temperature to which the steel has been heated. Factors affecting the heat tint colours formed Steel composition The chromium content is the most important single factor affecting oxidation resistance. The higher the chromium, the more heat resistant the steel and so the development of the heat tint colou...
