Water Pressure Testing

The wet test normally entails connecting the inlet to a pump & water supply
using a pressure fed supply. The system is then completely charged with water to
a pressure of 10 bar measured at the inlet for a period of at least 15 min.
During this period, an inspection of the system is made to check that no leakage
of water is taking place at any of the joints or landing valves.The wet test normally entails connecting the inlet to a pump & water supply

This test is carried out for the commission and maintenance of water mains.

Pressurisation is completed using a variety of Hydrostatic Test Pumps sized specifically for the type and size of pipe to be tested. All pumps are pressure variable and are fitted with pressure relief valves which are set on site to the required test pressure.

Testing of all "Creep Reactive" pipe materials such as HDPE, MDPE is completed using pressure data loggers. Our technicians utilise laptop computers enabling the download and interpretation of logger results to be carried out on site immediately after the test procedure has been completed.

Test results are analysed using our WRC approved test programme and test certificates are issued.

Solid pipe materials such as Ductile Iron or PVC is completed using the water loss procedure and the standard certified test gauge and manifold.
