fyi I noticed some issues dealing with internal "beads" and conditions were perhaps coincidentally discussed recently in an engineering forum thread at <a href="http://www.eng-tips.com/viewthread.cfm?qid=124331&page=3,">http://www.eng-tips.com/viewthread.cfm?qid=124331&page=3,</a> as well as some underground internal inspections for fusion joint conditions (and cracking etc.) with cameras discussed in a past paper though now online at <a href="http://www.pipe-line.com/archive/archive_99-09/99-09_ldc-romero.htm.">http://www.pipe-line.com/archive/archive_99-09/99-09_ldc-romero.htm.</a> Randy Conner

    Pick a pig (with a P) that will not hang by the internal beeds. Use a pig with an internal cavity and an electronic tracer for a long pipeline.

    Take into account pressure due to static head of test medium even if you are using gas (air or nitrogen) for the hydrotest. Potential problems: If your test location is lower that the highest point in the pipeline, the highest point may not reach the minimum acceptable test pressure. Don't underestimate!

    Under what ASME/? code are you testing the pipeline? B31.1/ .3/.4/.8 or AWWA?

Cheers, ET, PE.

Please,

I would like to have your advice. If I'll test pipeline hydrostaticaly and this line is plastic pipes P.E100. Is there any specification that say I have to remove the internal beed in the butt fusion joints before pushing bigs in the line.

Thanks& Best Regards
