f. Maintain pressure to within 5 psi of the test pressure by pumping in potable water as required.
g. Leakage is the quantity of water that shall be supplied into the test section to maintain pressure within 5 psi of the specified test pressure during a 2 hour test period.
h. The maximum allowable leakage is determined by the following formula:
|
L = |
(S)(D)(P)0.5 |
|
|
148,000 |
||
|
Where: L = allowable leakage in gallons per hour S = length of pipe tested in feet D = nominal pipe diameter in inches P = average test pressure in pounds per square inch |
||
