2.1 XCC-010 with Drilled Holes
For the given pipe lengths and number of holes, use hole sizes as defined in Table 2-1 or Table 2-2.
All holes to be evenly spaced along the pipe (+/- 20%).

Examples:
l For a single pipe, 75m long with 11 holes, the first four holes (nearest the detector) should be drilled
2.5mm, the last hole should be 3.5mm and the remaining holes (No’s 5-10) drilled 3mm.
l For a system with two 35m long pipes (i.e. a single branch), each with 4 holes (8in total) drill all holes
4mm.
