					 one and one-half times the maximum allowable working pressure at its new point
					 of installation location before it is placed in operation. The test shall be
					 witnessed by a certified inspector.
(2) ALTERNATIVE TESTS. When the certified
					 inspector determines that a hydrostatic test at one and one-half times the
					 maximum allowable working pressure is not possible or desirable, the certified
					 inspector may accept alternative means to determine if the vessel is safe for
					 its intended use.
Note:
Where water is used in a hydrostatic
						test, the temperature of the water should not be less than 70oF and the maximum
						temperature during inspection should not exceed 120oF. If a test is conducted
						at 1.5 times the maximum allowable working pressure (MAWP) and the owner
						specifies a temperature higher than 120oF, the pressure should be reduced to
						the MAWP and the temperature should be reduced to 120oF for the close
						examination.

					 VESSELS. Boilers and pressure vessels used for portable or emergency use shall
					 be exempt from secondhand vessel test requirements.
