21、7.1 A corrosion indicator shall be capable of withstanding without leakage through the body or at jointsan internal hydrostatic pressure of two times the rated working pressure, applied for a period of 1 minute.7.2 During this test, a thin wall section of pipe used as an indicator is to be perforate

22、d so as to apply thetest pressure the entire body of the device.7.3 A representative sample(s) of the corrosion indicator is be filled with water and vented of air. Thepressure is to be gradually increased at a rate not exceeding 300 psig (2.07 MPa) per minute until therequired test pressure is achi

23、eved and held for 1 minute. Visual observations are to be made for leakagethrough the body.8 Strength of Body Test8.1 A corrosion indicator shall withstand without rupture a hydrostatic pressure of four times the ratedworking pressure applied for a period of 5 minutes.8.2 During this test, a thin wa

24、ll section of pipe used as an indicator is to be perforated so as to apply thetest pressure the entire body of the device.8.3 A representative sample(s) of the corrosion indicator is to be filled with water and vented of air. Thepressure is to be gradually increased at a rate not exceeding 300 psig

25、(2.07 MPa) per minute until therequired test pressure is achieved and held for 5 minutes.OCTOBER 25, 2016UL 29876UL COPYRIGHTED MATERIAL NOT AUTHORIZED FOR FURTHER REPRODUCTION ORDISTRIBUTION WITHOUT PERMISSION FROM ULMARKINGS9 General9.1 Each corrosion indicator shall be legibly and permanently mar

26、ked with the following:a) The manufacturers or private labelers name or identifying symbol,b) A distinctive product identification designation,c) Pressure rating, andd) Nominal size.9.2 If a corrosion indicator is manufactured at more than one factory, each unit shall have a distinctivepermanent mar
