Anless directed otherwise: testing shall be carried out as follows*

;it plugs or bag stoppers at the lower end of the section of the pipeline & any other relevant branches under a test. ;it a plug or bag supporter with a tube leading to a water container at the highest end of the pipeline. ;ill & test to an internal pressure of 1.2 m above the invert of the pipe at the high end of the section pipeline and not more than 2., m head at the lower end. !llow the water level to stand for 2 hours: topping up the level: if necessary. !fter 2 hours: measure any loss of water by noting <uantity needed to maintain level in the container over a period of 30 minutes.
