Flow Rate

Test Description

Hydrostatic: Hydrostatic testes shall be made at not less than 200 psi for 2 hours or 50 psi above static pressure in excess of 150 psi for 2 hours. Differential dry pipe valve clappers shall be left open during the test to prevent damage. All aboveground piping leakage shall be stopped.

Pneumatic: Establish 40 psi air pressure and measure drop, which shall not exceed 1 ½ psi in 24 hours. Test pressure tanks at normal water level and air pressure and measure air pressure drop, which shall not exceed 1 1/2 psi in 24 hours.

Tests

Dry piping pneumatically tested
 
Equipment operates properly
 
Were additives, corrosive chemicals, sodium silicate or derivatives of sodium silicate, brine, or other corrosive chemicals or other stop leak devices were used for testing systems or stopping leaks?
 

Drain Test 

Underground mains and lead in connections to system risers were flushed before connection was made to sprinkler piping?
