The Pressure and Leak Test Guide of Compressed Air
BPG103-2 the 18-page BCAS Pressure and Leak Testing Guide concerns the pressure testing of piping and its associated components and covers the most commonly encountered commissioning situations where you need to establish the compressed air system&#;s safety and efficiency.

The testing of compressed air pipe systems is essential for two reasons:

1. To establish the system leak rate &#; for energy efficiency and reliability purposes

2. To check or verify the integrity of the pipe/fitting joints &#; to ensure safety of personnel

The Guide covers these two distinct tests a) the leakage test and b) the pressure (integrity) test. They have different objectives and are often confused.

The content covers the most commonly encountered commissioning situations, where it is necessary to establish the compressed air system&#;s safety (integrity) and efficiency(leakage).

The guide covers It outlines the importance of choosing the right supplier and assessing their competence, agreeing an acceptable leakage rate and the procedures for testing both new and existing installations as well as system modifications (such as the addition of single drops).

All testing described in this guide refers to the pneumatic testing method only and should be used in conjunction with the BCAS Installation Guide BPG101.

The scope does not extend to air receivers.
