I have hydrostatic test as one load case in the analysis and its pressure as we know 1.5times design pressure. Because of this ,in restraint summary, maximum pressure thrust force shown that belongs to hydrostatic test case.
My requirement is to inform the supplier to take care of this pressure thrust force and therby suitably Tie Rods needs to be designed.
However my query is hydrostatic test to my knowledge usually done at shops and at that time no bellows are installed. If so is the case should I need to ask the supplier to design Tie Rod for the maximum value(belongs to hydrostatic test case) or I could leave that hydrostatic test value and considering the maximum of other load cases Tie Rods Could be Designed.
Kindly clarify the doubt with your opinion and suitable explanation.
