Dear Mr George McKinney,
We are going to test for its operation, icluding pump, piping and tank. At the same time, we also do for leak test. I understand that we can dry the piping by purging the piping with nitrogen gas. But, could we do the same when the pump is connected to the piping ? I afraid it will damage the internal parts of the pump. By using water as a test medium, we are hoping that the whole system can be totally dried without leaving any problems to the system in the future.
Please guide me.
Thank you.
Regards,
cckla

leak test, or for actually qualifying a maximum pressure/design pressure?
And concern for the pumps - why not take them out of the system/blind off -
I would assume they are pre-tested by the manufacturer?
