ST9905-LR070416American Rehab & Inspections, INC. (214) 536-2915 LOW PRESSURE AIR TEST FOR GRAVITY ; Test Procedures ~- c TESTING DIVISI~,'v ~' Each section of sewer shall be tested between successive manholes. Air shall be introduced into the pipeline unti14.0 psi gauge pressure has been reached. time the fk~ av shall be reduced and the internal air pressure shall be maintained between 3.5 and 4.5 psi minutes to allow the sir temperature to come to equil'brium with the temperature of the pipe walls. Pipe shall be constantly monitored by a gauge and hose arrangement separate from the hose used to introduce air into the line. Pressure in the pipe shall not be allowed to exceed 5 psi. After the temperature has stabilised and no air leaks at the phigs have been found, the air pressure shall be used to determine that time lapse required for the air presswe to drop to 2.5 psi gauge. If the time lapse required for the air pressure to decrease fmm 3.5 to 2.5 psi exceeds that shown in the following table, the pipe shall be presumed to be within acceptable limits for leakage. If the time lapsed is less than that shown in the table, the contractor shall make connections to reduce the leakage to acceptable limits.
