8 Documentation
9 Demonstration Procedures
Identify the existing pressure in the pipe system that is 8.2 bars. So
now maximum testing pressure will be 1.5 times more than that of
existing pressure that is 12.3 bars
Make sure that the pipe is thoroughly cleaned with the rubbish & dirt
Identify the pipe line to be tested and maximum aggregate of the
pipe length should not exceed 400 feet or as per the site requirement
Check for the all the connection are tighten properly
Secure a blind flange or a cap suitable for the system rated pressure
on all the openings that are not closed by the valves
Slowly filled the pipe line with water and remove all the air as soon
as possible. Then gradually increase the pressure till it reaches the
working pressure. Once the working pressure is achieved maintain
the same for 30 minutes to stabilize the flow of water till it
distributed equally
Then increase the maximum pressure that is 1.5 times than the
working pressure to be held as per the consultant advise or maintain
the pressure for four hours
During the time frame is there is no pressure drop then the
inspection is successful
Once the readings to be noted in front of QA/QC engineer and
consultant /client. on getting the approval from consultant & QA/QC
engineer then the pressure can be released
Once all the fire fighting works are completed including piping pressure
testing, tie-in connection sensors and alarm valves installed and
connected to the panels i.e. BAS fire alarm etc. Then all the pre-
commissioning checks as per enclosed checklist will be done and
witnessed by consultant. Then the system will be tested with the prior
notice to consultant / Fire department as follows.
