    The document describes an air test for gravity pipelines. Air is pumped into the pipeline until a pressure of 100 mm head of water is reached and maintained above 75 mm head of water for 5 minutes without pumping. If the pipeline fails the air test, it can still be accepted if a subsequent successful water test ordered by the engineer is carried out.

    b) Air Test for Gravity Pipelines

    Gravity pipelines to be air tested shall have air pumped in by suitable means until a pressure of 100 mm
    head of water is indicated in a U-tube connected to the system. The pipeline shall be accepted if the air
    pressure remains above 75 mm head of water after a period of 5 minutes without further pumping,
    following a period of stabilization. Failure to pass the test shall not preclude acceptance of the pipeline if
    a successful water test, ordered by the Engineer, can subsequently be carried out.
