Use treated water (no chlorides), rated fittings, pipe cap and a pump.

Oh yes, hold for 10 minutes at pressure and check for leaks. Drain and dry.

What is a Material test certificate?

Do we need this each time we order a std 316SS orifice plate?

Can we have one certificate to represent a shipment of orifice plates of different sizes, class and thickness?
