C. Tests and Inspections:
1. Piping Testing Coordination: Perform tests, inspections, verifications, and certification
of piping systems concurrently with tests, inspections, and certification of interfacing
systems.
2. Inspect Pressure or flow regulators for proper operation.
3. Preparation: Perform the following Installer tests:
a. Initial blow down.
b. Initial pressure test.
c. Cross-connection test.
d. Piping purge test.
e. Standing pressure test for positive pressure piping.
4. Piping Pressure-Leak Tests: Test new and modified parts of existing piping. Cap and fill
piping with oil-free, dry nitrogen to pressure of 110% above system design pressure.
Isolate test source and let stand for four hours to equalize temperature. Refill system, if
required, to test pressure; hold for two hours with no drop in pressure. Utilize a bubble
forming solution for indication of any possible leaks.
a. Repair leaks and retest until no leaks exist.
5. System Verification; perform the following tests and inspections:
a. Valve test.
b. Master and area alarm tests.
c. Piping purge test.
d. Piping particulate test.
e. Piping purity test.
f. Final tie-in test.
g. Operational pressure test.
h. Verify correct labeling of equipment and components.
6. Testing Certification: Certify that specified tests, inspections, and procedures have been
performed and certify report results. Include the following:
a. Inspections performed.
b. Procedures, materials, and gases used.
c. Test methods used.
d. Results of tests.
D. Remove and replace components that do not pass tests and inspections and retest as specified
above.
