Hi Guys, does any one knows the calculations for the safe distance that should be taken while conducting pressure testing for pipes, flanges, and valves (either pneumatic or hydrostatic),

Strongly suggest you don NOT pneumatically test, the energy contained in compressed gas ir far higher than for hydro testing. Plus hydo testing is more likely to show up leaks i.e.defects in your pressure system, before a major failure.
There is a HSE guidance note on pressure testing, can't remember its reference right now.
This subject only came up a few weeks ago, so search theforum and u will find the reference.

Why not contact one of the companies which provide this to the oil and gas industry, there are a few such as hedley purvis and bj services, they are based in Aberdeen I am sure if you called up and asked to speak to someone in their health and safety department they would most likely oblige.

Guidance on pressure testing was GS4 and could be obtained, after much effort!, from HSE
