Bailey 4074 Drain Test Kit

Product Information

If your length of drainage is below five meters it would be a case of using common sense to assess whether the leakage is acceptable or not. A good rule of thumb to go by is if there is damage to the place where you are undertaking the test then it is not a good sign and there is probably more water than there should be. On the whole it is common knowledge that an amount less than 25mm in ten minutes is not deemed enough to be a concern. A drain test kit is used in construction to test the proper functioning of a building's drainage system. The process does not differ far from that of the regular water test. Firstly all of the ends of any open ended outlets etc must be bunged up and then the manhole chamber must be filled with 300mm of water. To begin with, fit a bung at the head of the pipe run with the correct nipple cap to attach it to the hose that will be connected to the manometer. Make sure that your manometer has been partially topped up with water prior to this.

To find out more about the air test, you can find more details in BS EN 1610 and in Building Regulations Approved Document H.CMT Group ensures that you, our valued customer, enjoys your shopping experience as we strive to make your experience ‘hassle free’. Once the vehicle has fully shut down the drain current reading can be gained from the multimeter. If the multimeter has been removed during the wait period, connect the multimeter to the WCDT then switch the fuse switch to OUT.

Next, the manometer must be monitored for five minutes and within this time it must not drop below 75mm. This will be considered a pass, however if it does reduce to below the 75mm line on the manometer there should be an examination for leaks and other signs of failure. If anything needs rectifying this must be complete before conducting another test and if this fails move to a water test. It is not uncommon for the need to undertake repairs after running a drainage test. Often, it may be a case of a faulty length of drainage pipe or a joint that may need re-doing. However, if there is no obvious fault it may require disassembly of the system entirely and individually testing each section using an air test. After the fault is correctly identified, tests must then be rerun to ensure everything runs as it should. It may be that there is a need for a new length of pipe or the need to re-join or reseal parts of the system. Mandrel testing is used to gauge the quality of an installation. It is a small object that is sent through the interior of the pipe to assess that the consistency of diameter throughout the pipe is adequate. They have a smaller diameter in comparison to the pipe itself, so for example if the pipe was 150mm you would look to use a 135mm mandrel. They can be identified as a cylinder like object.At EasyMerchant we offer both an air testing kit and drain testing kit to suit the requirements for your job. The drain testing kit essentially includes the basics required to test a drainage set up: So, you have a problem with your drains and call an expert to out to test them. How exactly does the drain testing process work? After water is filled to the top of the manhole benching, it should be left to soak for 5 minutes before begin topped up. It should be left to charge for 10 minutes more, before topping up again once the changes have been recorded. We’ve highlighted the values of leakage over a 10 minute period in our lovely table below. Sleep mode is typically when Parasitic Current Draw from the battery settles at approx 30-40 mA for over 20 minutes. The target maximum Parasitic Drain Value is < 80 mA and stable throughout." Before attempting to fit the bungs for pressure testing ensure there are no issues or dirt that could prevent the installation and function of the bung, as any grit or dirt within the seal could allow leaking and thus fail a test.
