Thanks for your reply. Please assume no gas. As far as pressure and temperature, I am actually looking for curves or tables showing how the oil bulk module varies in the range 0-3000 psi and 10-20 degrees C.

Could anybody provide information on the bulk modulus of oil (say API Gravity 30-40) in the range of pressure 0-3000 psi and in the range of temperature 10-20 degrees C?
Many thanks

Thanks to all.
The many specifications for hydrostatic tests of pipelines that I have read limit the air content to 0.5-1.0%. My understanding is that the issue is test accuracy, not safety, even I understand the safety concerns mentioned by some of the people that replied to my poste...
Could anybody explain why in the hydrostatic test of a pressure vessel the allowed percentage of air in volume in the vessel is not allowed to be more than 0.5%-1%?
What would happen if the pressure vessel contains 90% water and 10% air?
Many thanks
