Does anyone have a guideline to hydrostatic testing a pvc pipe with air. We want to fill a gravity stormwater system with water and see how much infiltration / exfiiltration there is in the system. Anyone have a guideline for how much rise / fall is the water level we should expect?
Thanks

Any standard CSI Div 02 Spec will have a Section (approx. 02660) called Sewer Systems testing. It will detail both hydrstatic and air vacuum.
