Pipe Stopper Testing Mistakes
In order to use a smooth flowing pipeline, we have to carry out a few tests with pipe stopper (a.k.a. pipe plug) as per EN 1610. By applying these tests, we can get results about leakages of the pipeline, if any. Or we can see how much pressure the line is holding.HOW CAN WE DO THESE TESTS? In our previous articles we have explained the Leak Test as per EN 1610 for sewer, storm, drain pipelines ...
