1313.4 Detection of Leaks and Defects
JUMP TO FULL CODE CHAPTER
The piping system
shall withstand the test pressure specified without showing any evidence of leakage or other defects. Any reduction
of test pressures as indicated by pressure gauges shall be
deemed to indicate the presence of a leak unless such reduction can be readily attributed to some other cause. [NFPA
54:8.1.5.1]
The leakage shall be
located by means of an approved gas detector, a noncorrosive
leak detection fluid, or other approved leak detection methods. [NFPA 54:8.1.5.2]
Where leakage or other
defects are located, the affected portion of the piping system
shall be repaired or replaced and retested. [NFPA
54:8.1.5.3]
