The levels taken before water filling called as initial level of the tank and shall be record in an approved format. The water filling height shall be restricted to the max. Liquid Level or up to the curb angle. The water filling shall be carried out in four stages (25%, 50%, 75% & 100% of the max liquid level of the tank) Any leaks observed in the shell joint during the hydro test shall be noted and repaired with the water level min. of 300mm below the leak spot.
