Pressure Testing 48" RCP for sewer
Pressure Testing 48" RCP for sewer
(OP)
I am an engineer in California and need to find a rule for testing and acceptance of the joints of a 48" RCP sewer pipe that I have designed. ASTM C924 (April 2004) says that 48" and larger pipes will be accepted by individual joint testing and not pressurizing the entire run. Does anyone know of a standard reference or some ASTM standard for individual joint testing of RCP for sewer?
thanks,
thanks,

leakage testing of the completed line should be done from manhole to manhole and can be done with either water or air. testing of the installed pipeline is recommended for the entire length.
