Uncovered buried pipe support during pressure test? Guidelines?
Uncovered buried pipe support during pressure test? Guidelines?
(OP)
Hello all,
I'm about to bid work involving installing new underground natural gas pipe with a requisite pressure test...I'm trying to find a reference for how to support pipe during the pressure test that is uncovered. I know there are guidelines for how many feet of what diameter can be exposed without fear of the pipe jumping all over the place but I can't find anything.
Mainly I want to be passingly familiar with this instead just writing "follow industry guidelines" in the scope.
Any advice is greatly appreciated.
