Pipe Pressure Testing Ductile Iron, Plastic Pipes & Polyethylene Plastic Pipes

The PT pipe pressure testing system for Ductile Iron, Plastic Pipes & Polyethylene Plastic Pipes  is suitable for all types of potable and wastewater pipes. Pipes for both potable and wastewater can be made of the following materials and have different features and benefits

 

Plastic Pipes & Polyethylene Plastic Pipes
  • Sustainable & reliable – allow leak-free transport and service
  • Track record – proven material across the utility sector
  • Cost-effective – lightweight, lower energy transportation and handling
  • Standard & quality - subject to strict international product standards
 
Ductile Iron Pipes
  • High safety & reliability – strong and robust
  • Long life – maintain condition for many years
  • Low installation & maintenance costs
  • Easy to install and commission
 
Glass Reinforced Pipes 
  • Lightweight & long life
  • Corrosion resistant & strong
  • Cost-effective – long length gives low cost transportation
  • Quick to install – easy to handle and install
 
 
The PT  Pipe Pressure Testing System
The PT pipe pressure testing system is suitable for all standard hydrostatic pipe pressure tests for water supply pipelines and rising mains.
 
  • Preliminary Pipe Pressure Test: Intended to stabilise the pipeline by allowing most of the time-dependent movement to occur, achieve saturation in absorbent materials, allow pressure dependent increase in volume of flexible pipe prior to the main test
  • Main Pipe Pressure Test: Water loss method or pressure loss method
