Gas & FuelPregunta 74 de 110
A leak test on an in-service gas line uses a soap-bubble or electronic method rather than a pressure drop. When is the bubble/electronic leak check the appropriate method?
a.On new rough piping before drywall
b.On existing pressurized piping and appliance connections that cannot be depressurized for a formal test
c.Only on propane tanks
d.Never on natural gas
Explicación
A leak-detection solution or electronic sniffer is used to check joints and connections on piping and appliances that are already in service and under normal operating pressure, where a formal pressure-drop test is impractical. Bubbles at a joint reveal an escaping leak for immediate repair. A never open flame is used to check for gas leaks.
