4 Acceptance Criteria
-
- During the test, no leakage from the sample(s)
should occur except that slight weeping through the pipe wall may
be accepted.
-
- After termination of the burner regulation test,
the test sample, together with fire protection coating, if any, should
be allowed to cool to ambient temperature and then tested to the rated
pressure of the pipes as defined in paragraphs 2.1.2.2 and 2.1.3.2 of these guidelines. The pressure
should be held for a minimum of 15 minutes without significant leakages,
i.e. not exceeding 0.2 litres/min. Where practicable, the hydrostatic
test should be conducted on bare pipe, that is pipe which has had
all of its coverings including fire protection insulation removed,
so that leakage will be readily apparent.
