The pressure at which pipework should be tested typically depends on the system and the regulations it must adhere to. Generally, the test pressure is 1.5 times the design pressure or operating pressure of the system being tested.
To pressure test a piping system:
The British Standard for pressure testing is BS EN 805:2000 for water supply systems. It details the requirements for commissioning, including pressure testing.
Copper pipework in the UK is typically tested at a pressure of 1.5 times the working pressure. For domestic systems, this is often around 10 bar (150 psi).
Qualified personnel for pressure testing services include certified plumbing and pipework professionals, mechanical engineers, and technicians with specialised training in pressure testing procedures to industry standards.
Pressure testing services are conducted to verify the integrity and strength of pipework systems, ensuring they can withstand operating pressures without leaks or failures. It ensures system safety and compliance with regulatory standards.
The duration for pressure testing pipework varies by regulation and system type but generally ranges from 30 minutes to several hours. Pressure testing services should be long enough to ensure that the system maintains pressure and reveals any potential leaks.
