This test method uses partial vacuumto demonstrate the integrity of the installed materials
4、and theconstruction processes.1.2 This test method is intended to be used to demonstratethe condition of the installed system (precast concrete tank andaccessories) prior to backfill.1.3 Testing of the system before backfill is necessary so asto preclude inadvertent structural overloading of the sys
5、temcomponents during the test.NOTE 1Vacuum test criteria presented in this test method are similarto those in general use. The test and criteria have been widely andsuccessfully used in testing manholes as specified in Test Method C1244.1.4 The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regardedas

Procedure8.1 The test vacuum shall be introduced either through oneof the risers or through an entry pipe, as long as either is sealedagainst loss of vacuum in accordance with the manufactur
21、ersrecommendations.8.2 A vacuum of 4 in. (102 mm) Hg 54 in. (1385 mm)H2O shall be drawn on the system, the valve on the vacuumline of the test head closed, and the vacuum pump shut off.8.3 The system shall pass if the vacuum is maintained for 5min. Should the negative pressure fall below 4 in. (102
22、mm)Hg during the test, the pressure shall be returned to 4 in. (102mm) Hg and the test time restarted. This shall not be prohibitedand the system shall be deemed acceptable if it passes therequirements on subsequent testing.8.4 If the installed system fails the test, the system shall notbe prohibite
