Latest version.
  • International Fuel Gas Code, 2015 Edition, Section 406.4 Test pressure measurement, is hereby amended to read as follows:

    406.4 Test pressure measurement. Test pressure shall be measured with a manometer or with a pressure-measuring device designed and calibrated to read, record, or indicate a pressure loss caused by leakage during the pressure test period. The source of pressure shall be isolated before the pressure tests are made. Mechanical gauges used to measure test pressures shall have a range such that the highest end of the scale is not greater that two (2) times the test pressure. Tests requiring a pressure of 10 psi or less shall utilize a testing gauge having increments of 0.20 psi or less. Tests requiring a pressure greater than 10 psi but less than or equal to 100 psi shall utilize a testing gauge having increments of 1 psi or less. Tests requiring a pressure of greater than 60 psi shall utilize a testing gauge having increments of 2 psi or less.
