Flow the required rate until water is clear as indicated by no collection of foreign material in burlap bags at outlets such as hydrants and blow-offs. Flush at flows not less than 400 G PM {1514 L/rain) for 4-inch pipe. 600 G PM (2271 L/min) for 5 inch pipe, 750 GPM (2839 L/rain) for 6-inch pipe. 1000 GPM (3785 L/min) for 8-inch pipe, 1500 GPM (5678 L/min) for 10-inch pipe and 2000 GPM (7570 L/min) for 12-inch pipe. When supply cannot produce stipulated flow rates, obtain maximum available. HYDROSTATIC. Hydrostatic tests shall be made at not less than'200 psi (13.8 bars) for two hours or 5,~. psi (3.4 bars) above static pressure in excess of 150 psi (10.3 bars) for two hours. LEAKAGE. New pipe laid with rubber gasketed joints shall, if the workmanship is satisfactory, have little or no leakage at the joints The amount of leakage at the joints shall not exceed 2 qts. per hr. (1.89 L/h) per 100 joints irrespective of pipe dia meter. The leakage shall be distributed over all joints. If such leakage occurs at a few ioints the installation shall be considered unsatisfactory and necessary repairs made. The amount of allowable leakage specified above may be increased by 1 fl oz per in. valve diameter per hour (30 mL/25 mm/h) for each metal seated valve isolating the test section, If dry barrel hydrants are tested with the main valve open, so the hydrants are under pressure, an additional 5 oz per ninute (150 mL/min) leaka~le is permitted for each hydrant.
