    The document provides rules and calculations for determining the minimum safety distance when pressure testing pipes and vessels. It gives the specific calculations for determining safety distance when using liquids (hydrotest) or gases (pneumatic test) based on test pressure, pipe diameter, length, density and other factors. It also provides a rule of thumb that the minimum safety distance cannot exceed 30 meters. A second section provides a table with barricade distances in meters for radioactive Iridium-192 sources of varying strengths both with and without a collimator.

    REMARKS:

    1. The above barrier distance colculation is for the Ir-192 Source in unshileded condition and with the usage of Tungsan
    colimeter.

    2. The above colculations are guidelines only. The R.P.O shall calculate the actual Barrier distance accroding the source
    stregnth of that day.

    3. The Gamma ray constant is taken as 4.8 msv/hr.

    4. Dose rate at barrier is 7.5 pSvihr as stipulated in SCENR guidelines.

    5. One Curie (Ci) = 3.7×1010 decays per second and half life of Iridium 192 is 74 days.

    BARRIER DISTANCE= (ci* Gamma ray constant/puplic dose rate* collimeter thickness factor)
    Collimeter Thickness Factor = ( one TVT + two HVT )
