Note for water in(ex)filtration testing at pipe/bell joints


There is no correlation between vacuum (air) and hydrostatic tests (see ASTM C1244-93).

Vacuum testing coupled with the presence of hydrostatic pressure (high ground water) provides unreliable test results. Due to inaccurancies; GU companies shall not be responsible should seal failure occur.
