(OP)
I need to test a sewer force main, PVC SDR 26 pipe, approx. 10,000' length. Pump station @ approx. EL.524.00, high point approx. El. 621.00, outlet mh approx. EL. 320.00. There is an air release @ high point, no valves installed at any point along line. Spec. test to be 100 PSI. Any thoughts on most effecient way to proceed?

It probably makes sense to divide the pipe into segments and individually test the segments since the elevation varies along the route.
