Water test
General Site Testing
Water Test
Air and water tests

All lengths of sewer drain up to DN 750 should be tested
for leakage by means of air or water tests.
A water test is the more logical and conclusive method

of testing a completed pipeline but problems of
availability and disposal of the quantity of water involved
may cause difficulty. Before backfilling, leakage can be
clearly located, its amount assessed and where
necessary appropriate remedies applied.
These tests should be applied after laying and before

backfilling. Some backfill may be placed at the centre of
each pipe to prevent movement during testing.
We strongly recommend that air testing be
undertaken periodically during the laying process,
say every fourth pipe, so as to facilitate
rectification if any defect is found. Short branch
drains connected to a main sewer between manholes
should be tested as one system with the mains sewer.
Long branches should be separately tested.
Man entry sizes of pipeline can be physically inspected
while smaller diameters can be visually inspected from
manholes by means of T.V. cameras.
Visual inspection: Check for1. obstructions and debris,
2. structural soundness of pipes,
3. joints properly sealed,
4. line and level within tolerance
Pipeline under Water Test
(diagram)
Level of water for test
To test the pipeline:1. Insert plugs in both ends of the drain or sewer and in
connections if necessary. Precautions should be
taken by strutting or otherwise to prevent movement
of the drain or sewer during testing.
2. Fill the system with water ensuring all the air has
been expelled.
3. Allow at least two hours before test readings are
taken to allow conditions to stabilise, adding water to
maintain the test head.
It may be necessary to extend this period for large
diameter pipes, up to twenty-four hours or more
before a stable condition is reached.
4. Apply required test head at the upper end by means
of a flexible pipe leading from a graduated container
or stand pipe.
5. Apply the test pressure of 1.2m head of water above
the soffit of the drain or sewer at the high end with a
maximum of 6m head at the low end. If it exceeds
6m test the drain or sewer in stages.
6. Measure the loss of water over a period of 30
minutes by adding and metering quantities of water
at intervals of 5 minutes to maintain original water
level in the standpipe.
Over this 30 minute period the quantity of water added
should not exceed 0.05 litre per 100 linear meters per
millimetre of nominal size of the drain or sewer, i.e. for
a 150m length of DN 800 the allowable leakage
would be:
1.2m Head of
Water (6.0m Max
at lower end)
0.05 x 150 x 800 = 60 litres

----100
Should the pipeline not comply with these
requirements it will probably be attributable to
one of the following:1. leakage from test equipment
2. trapped air,
3. leakage from joints, e.g., displaced ring,
4. leakage from damaged or defective pipe.

Air testing
Air Test
The air test is very searching and is more convenient
than the water test, but the leakage rate cannot be
measured accurately. An excessive drop in pressure in
the air test may indicate a fault in line such as a
displaced sealing ring. It may be due to faults in the
testing apparatus. Therefore the first check must be on
the apparatus, especially the seals of the stop ends and
all connections. The point of any leakage may be difficult
to detect but spraying with soap solution could indicate
such leakage by the presence of bubbles.
Failure to pass this test in not conclusive and, when
marginal failure does occur, a water test as described
should be made and the leakage rate determined before
a decision as to rejection is made.
Air test requirements are currently specified in British
Standard Codes of Practice BS 8301 Building Drainage
and BS 8005 Sewerage. (5 minute test 100mm on U
tube to drop no more than 25mm). However current
practice in many other European Countries confirms the
research by CPA that the introduction of a higher
pressure test to 1000mm rather than the current 100mm
would overcome most of the shortcomings in BS test.
These may be summarised as follows:1. The BS air test specifies a constant requirement
regardless of diameter and length of the pipeline.
2. The air test is relatively more severe on smaller pipe
diameters.
3. Pipe wall dampness affects air test results,
particularly on smaller diameter pipes and at the low
pressure specified.

The following air test procedure is consistent

with that described in BS 8301 and the Water
Authorities Association publication Sewers for
Adoption.
1. Seal the ends of the pipeline by means of expanding
or inflatable drain stoppers.
2. Connect a U gauge (manometer) to the test nipple
of the drain stopper by means of rubber tubing.
3. Raise the internal pressure of the system until the U
gauge indicates slightly more than 100mm. Purpose
made drain testing equipment is so calibrated that
the scale indicates the actual pressure in mm water
gauge. (See figure below)
4. Allow about 5 minutes for stabilisation of the air
temperature (a 1 change in temperature is reflected
in a change in pressure of about 38mm on the
gauge).
5. Adjust the pressure to 100mm by either introducing
further air or by bleeding off any excess pressure.
6. Observe the fall in indicated pressure over a 5
minute test period. The residual pressure should be
not less than 75mm.

To test the pipeline, fit strutted plugs at each end and

pump air until a pressure of 1m head is shown on the U
tube. Allow the pressure to drop recording the time for
the head to fall from 900mm to 800mm. This time should
not be less than that shown in the table above for the
appropriate nominal pipe size. These modifications to
the BS test incorporating these higher pressures are
illustrated above.

Jointing & Laying
Jointing Procedure
Forsheda 140 Lamell Sliding Rubber seal permits
installation with very little force as there is lubricant
enclosed within the seals sliding layer, thus there is no
friction between concrete pipe and rubberseal.
The sliding layer, when in final position locates itself in
the gap between spigot and socket and then prevents
concrete to concrete contact if pipe is deflected.
Installation
Fit the seal onto spigot as shown on Fig.1.
Centre the spigot in the socket as Fig. 1.
Slide the pipes together and the lubricated flap will
move over top of the compressed rubber seal as
Fig. 2 and finish as shown on Fig. 3.

rings are compatible with the pipes to be laid, then the

following procedure should be followed:
Clean the Pipe Ends
Brush or wipe with rag to
remove adhering part or water.
Ice may be removed with
methylated or a gas torch. Take care not to damage the
concrete.
Inspect Joint Surfaces
Inspect the joint faces for
damage which may affect the
performance of the joint.
Handle Pipes with Care
Use only proper lifting equipment, eg woven
slings. Make sure the pipe is balanced so that it
is horizontal.
Fit the Ring
Fit the correct ring in the correct
position and equalise the tension
by lifting out intervals at its length
and letting it snap back against the
socket (see Joint details)
Clean the Socket End
Brush and wipe the end of
the pipe fitted previously to
remove any particles or
water, ensure that the receiving socket is clean and
undamaged.
Fig 2
Prepare the
Trench Bed
Make a recess in the bed
to accommodate the pipe.
Line Up the Pipes
Carefully centre the spigot
within the socket.
Fig 3
The relevant pipe diameter is stamped on each rubber

ring. Rubber rings should be carefully stored and
protected from sunlight, oils, greases and heat, if rings
have been tied they should be separated a few days
before using in order to eliminate minor impressions the
tying may have caused.
Joint rings are normally Styrene Butadiene Rubber (SBR)
complying with EN 681-1. Nitrile and Ethylene Propylene
Rubber (EPDM) can be supplied if specifically ordered to
meet special conditions, but are not normally available
from stock.
Make the Joint

The jointing procedure
should develop a steady
controlled push or pull
until joint is in final
position. Method of
jointing will depend on
size of pipe. Ensure timber blocks are used to prevent
damage to socket of pipe.
Ref: TC11/6
Mechanical plant should not be used to push pipes

down to their correct level.
When jointing pipes the last pipe laid sometimes has a
tendency to reassert therefore it should be proped and
checked before laying commences.

The selections of bedding material and bedding class is

influenced by many factors which include the nature of
the ground, the loads acting on pipeline, availability of a
particular type of bedding material. The ideal is crushed
rock or gravel that is compatible and provides stable
embedment.
Ground water should be kept below the bottom of

trench by use of temporary drains and not allowed to
rise before backfilling is complete.
Special care should be taken with the bedding material
immediately surrounding the pipes to minimise the
possibility of lumps or others coming into direct contact
with pipes thus causing point loading.
Never bulldose backfill directly into trench.
For more details on bedding and pipe specifications see

C.P.S.A. (Concrete Pipe Systems Association)
publications.

Handling & Storage

Time and place of loading should be agreed before units
arrive on site. The pipe line contractor should provide
suitable equipment for offloading, stacking and stringing
out pipes and other accessories on site.
Offloading should take place at the nearest hard road to
the point of installation provided it is accessible for
delivery trucks. All units must be left in a stable
condition well clear of the edge of trench.
Pipes should be handled horizontally using a properly
designed c hook or other purpose designed equipment,
but not unprotected chains. For safety reasons always
know the weight of pipe to be lifted.

Never Lift pipes or accessories as shown in Fig. 3

which is likely to cause damage to spigot or
socket.
Where stacking is necessary, this must be on level
ground and the bottom layer of pipes securely chocked
to prevent pipes from rolling or stack from collapsing.
Pipes should be supported under the barrell of the pipe
so that the sockets are free from load, they should
preferably be stacked barrell to barrell with sockets
overhanging alternative sides.

Specifying
Spigot & Socket pipes and accessories are manufactured
in accordance with BS 5911 pt 100. This is the relevant
British Standard which sets out the complete
specification including manufacturing tolerances and the
various strength and hydrostatic tests which the final
product must comply with. However it does not include
guidelines on the use if pipes for particular situations.
For Guidelines on specifying the use of pipes including
Diameter, Class, Bedding details etc. refer to Concrete
Pipe Systems Association Publications or your engineers
details.

Pipes or other units which have to be moved, should
never be dragged. If pipes have to be rolled, beware of
rocks or boulders which may damage joint profiles. See
joint details for storage of rubber rings.
