Small leakes in the begging of a test...then it just stops. Why?
Small leakes in the begging of a test...then it just stops. Why?
(OP)
I would like to know if its normal to have a Leak in a Test during filling conditions, but in pressure is complete LEak proof.
Imean, i am testing a 24 inch PVC pipe with gasket joint 1000 Ft lenght. During filling we detect small leaks in 4 joints, but once the pipes gets just a little pressure (about 35 PSI) the leak stops and pass the 2 hours test ay 150 PSI with no problem. The main problem now is that the inspection is killing me with questiong regarding to if this is normal. A couple of PVC pipe manufacturer told me that its perfectly normal, but when i ask to a document (standard, essay, textbook or something) they told me that there isn't any. It's this true? where i can find info about it if this is possible
Thank you ! i have only 2 days to answer to the inspection before they consider the test as Fail!.

When you lay them out and turn the valve on they leak all over the place, but as the pressure builds up they quit leaking.
