The combined pretest/main test is carried out on newly laid pipe
systems with operating pressures of 100 mbar to 1 bar.
The test includes pipe systems including fittings, but without gas
pressure controllers, gas appliances, gas meters and relevant
regulating and safety devices.
A high pressure probe is required for this test.
