View the thread, titled "Pressure testing 63mm gas pipe" which is posted in Gas Engineers Forum on UK Plumbers Forums.
each so around 10 hour test due to guage set
So a 3 bar test should be ok then hey
Depends on spec of pipe
Reading treloar gas book commercial side. The tightness test is quite something
Have a look at purging
Hehe. I kind of skipped that one. My bed time reading now is specification of gas sdr11 pe pipe
So reading the pipes testing procedure for gas, it says to reduce temperature effects the trench must be backfilled. That is surprising
I contacted another department today a d all they could tell me in that area it is all low pressure installations which will supply a MOP of 19 to 21mb. Does this help?
Ask what the supply pressure is eg before reg
I see in this table it is below 100mb so MOP x 2.5
You need to find out the Mains pressure before the Governor that controls your installation pressure. Cadent will tell you what the supply pressure is in that area. If you get that, I can look in IGE/UP/1 and tell you the pressure you need.
Sorry, the table above is not what I meant to post.
Which ever is greater so mop might be 21mbar so 52mbar test
But mip could be 75 mbar so 82 mbar test
So mip is your testing pressure
But mip could be 75 mbar so 82 mbar test
So mip is your testing pressure
I have talked to 4 people now and they don't know any figures just that the pressure in the mains gas pipe in the road is low pressure. Very frustrating
;D welcome to the world of trying to get info out of the networks
Must be a nightmare.
To be honest, Cadent would of had it but it is not there area. It is SGN.
I have found this info though...
Going from that info it is what you have suggested and 75mb for low
