maximum pressure drop on old pipework

[jimmy36]

Hi went to do a tightness test today, the drop was 0-8 mb on old pipework on a u6 metre what's the maximum drop?

 

[swbjackson]

Is this a wind up? Anyone carrying out tightness testing should have this info at their fingertips.

0-25 with water gauge and 0-2 with electronic. What about old pipework?

i'm assuming you use a "-" where i would use a "."

Cant help it but namsag yous have abviously seen this in cc someone somewere knows who you are!
even still i can't beleive it was asked openly and then closed

Taught many an apprentice over the years and have no problem explaining the job to anyone .
BUT to get into the CC you must have at least core which all should be second nature to you because it is being used everyday on just about every job .
So questions like this should never be asked by pros and even when people where stating there disbelief others where still coming on with the wrong answers.

I notice there is a topic on group discount purchases for a magnetic filter i think .
Perhaps it would be far better to have a discount on buying the books that people should refer to if they are out there working with peoples lives in their hands if they dont have the mental capacity to store such everyday info.


Belli did ye no know i um meant tae be hauf a dozen people in the CC

Hey Namsag , you got any guidance on terminal position directly opposite an openable window. , or have you already posted?

 

[namsag]

Gazwiz
Fanned flue terminal should be at least 2 metres from any opening in a building directly opposite.
As for that one in the CC its one of those the gsr give different answers to depening on who you speak to.

I have always understood the minimum distance as used by BC and EHOs to be 2.4m

Practically that 2.4 m has to be over land in your ownership as you cannot make noxious discharges over land belonging to others.

I`d better keep away from the fence when I fart then

 

[namsag]

Agile perhaps you are mixing the 2.4 m up because the building opposite at 2metres can be on the owners own land and not on someone elses
