• Repeated testing PS >0.5 bar
Pipelines with PS >0.5 bar must be subjected to a pressure test
every 10 years. Pipelines with DN > 25 must be subjected to a
main test under operating conditions every 2 years.
• Repeated testing PS <=0.5 bar
Pipelines with PS <=0.5 bar must be subjected to a main test
every 10 years.
