The pressure shall not decrease or increase during the test period. B. CODE COMPLIANCE TESTING: Before turning gas on Before gas is introduced into a system of gas piping, the enCire system shall be inspected to determine that there are no apen fittings or ends and that all valves at unused outlets are closed and plugged or capped. Leak Detection methads The leakage shall be located by rneans af an approved gas detector, a noncorrosive detection fluid or other approved leak detection methods The following is an appxoved procedure far leak testing customer piping systems: 97 Leak tests are required any time there is an interruption of service meaning the flow of gas was stapped for any reason. Florida Fuel Gas Code 406.6.3 (NFPA 54 -$.2.3) states that "Immediately after the gas is turned on into a new system or into a syste�n that has been initially restored after an interruption of service, th� piping system shall be tested for leakage. If leakage is indicated, the gas supply shall be shut off until the necessary repairs have been made". The leak test will indicate any leaks within the propane piping system due to interruption of service vr out of gas situation. The leakage test is simply testing the integrity of the system plumbing joints and the seal of the pipe joint compound, piping fittings, pipe, gas equipment & appliances, valves etc. This is the safety reasoning behind leak testing. The real reason a leak test is performed is the life-safety factor "Protect Life and Then Property and because it is required by Florida Building Code law/ ordinance and none other. The leak check tests for leakage throughout the system of piping and appliances. It is used for new and existing gas systems. It is conducted aftec a system has been successfully pressure tested, inspected and approved. Normally, the leak check is conducted when one of the following occurs: • A system of new gas or modi�ed gas piping is placed into service for the first time (drap test) • A gas leakage is suspected (investigation of an odor complaint) • A gas meter is replaced • An appliance or appliance connector is replaced • An aut of gas condition accurs (interruption of service) The pressure test and leak check are often confused. A pressure test is required for new piping installations, while a leak check is required whenever the gas system is initially placed into service or when the gas is turned back on after it has been turned off. Leak checks differ iram the pxessure test in that it requires no special preparations. The medium used for a leak check is fuel gas at norimal supply pressure. The gas is applied to the total systern Leak Check Pracedur� The procedure for the leak check is not speciiied in the NFPA 54- National Fuel Gas Code or the ICC Fuel Gas Code- Florida Fuel Gas Code. Any rnethod can be used, as long as it iinds leaks. It is recammended that a written pracedure for the method be developed and the steps be taketa to ensure that all employees follow the methad sa CGS test every system identically Testing for leakage 98 This test can be done by one o� the fol�owxng methods: For Any Gas System- Ta an appropriate checkpoint attach a manometer ar an apprapriate pressure gauge between the inlet to the piping system and the first regulator in the piping system, momentarily turn on the gas supply and observe the gauging device for pressure drop with the gas supply shut off. No evident drop in pressure should occur during a period of 3 minutes. For Gas Systems Using Undiluted Liquefied Petroleum Gas System- Preparation for pro�ane. A leak check pecfor�ed on an L� Gas System being placed back into service should include all regulatars, including appliance regulators, and control valves in the system. Accordingly, each individual equipment shutoff valve should be supplying pressure to its appliance for the leak check. This check will prove the integrity of the 100 percent pilot shut off of each gas valve in the on position. Pilot not incorporating a 100 percent pilot shut off valve and all manual gas valves not incor�orating safety shutoff systems are to be placed in the off position prior to leak checking, by using the following methods: Sy inserting a pressure gauge between the container gas shutaff valve and the first regulatar in tk�e system, admitting full container gas pressure to the system and closing the container shutoff valve. Enough gas should be re�eased frazn the system to lower the pressure gauge reading by 10psi. The system should then be allowed to stand for 3 minutes without showing an increase or decrease in the pressure gauge reading. For systerns serving appliances that receive gas at a pressure o� 1/z psi ar 1ess, by inserting a water zx�anometer or appropriate Qressure gauge into the system downstream af the final regulator, pressurizing the system with either fuel gas or air to test pressure of 9 in. water column and observing the device for a pressure change. If fuel gas is used as a pressure source, it is necessary to pressurize the system to full operating pressure, close the container service valve, and then release enough gas from the system through a range burner valve or other suitable means ta drop the systern pressure to 9 in water column. This ensures that a11 regulators in the system are unlocked and that a leak anywhere in the system is communicated to the gauging device. The gauging device should indicate no lose or gain of pressure for a period of 3 minutes. When leakage is detected When pressure drops on the gauge or manameter is nated, all equipment or outlets supplied through the system should be examined to see whether they are shut off and do not leak. If they are found tight, there is a leak in the piping system. Where leakage is indicated, the gas supply at the meter shall be shut off, locked and slugged until the necessary repairs have been made. CGS dispatch shall be notified ASAP Where leakage ar other defects are located, the affected portion of the piping systera� shall be repaired or replaced and retested Matches, candles, open flames or other methods that cou�d provide a source of ignition shall not be used Placing equipment in operation 99 Gas utilization equipment shall be permitted ta be placed in operation after the piping system has been tested and determined to be free of leakage and purged in accordance with Section 406.7.2. af the Florida Fuel Gas Code The Contractor will conduct leakage tests at one and a half times the gas delivery pressure for minimum time of 1S minutes on the existing gas hause plumbing or as required by the City- County Building Inspector. The pressure shall not decrease or increase during the test period. Other inspections and tests required by the City — County Building Inspector, codes, ordinances, or ather legally constituted authority shall be the responsibility of and shall be paid for by the Contractor.
