crystalline in structure, which is otherwise like hard rock. It only indicates the degree of softness, but
will not include the disintegrated masses of rock, which generally have fractures or cleavages. Soft
rock can be removed by a pick but mass removal, blasting has to be done. On hard rock a crow bar
or a pick will only rebound removing but in significant quantity. The excavation in asphalt or concrete
shall be classified as hard materials.
The excavation shall be taken down to such depths as shown in drawings and /or as directed and

c) Sum of maximum sustained operating pressure & the maximum surge pressure.
d) Sum of maximum pipe line static pressure, subject to maximum surge pressure, subject
to maximum equal to work test pressure for any pipe / fitting incorporated.
The field test pressure should wherever possible be not less than 2/3 work test pressure
appropriate to the class of pipe except in case of spun iron pipes & should be applied & maintained for at
least four hours. If the visual inspection satisfies that there is no leakage the test can be passed.
Where the field test pressure is less than 2/3 the work test pressure, the period of test should be
2
increased to at least 24 hours. The test pressure shall be gradually raised at the rate of 1 Kg/cm /min. If
the pressure measurements are not made of the lowest point of section an allowance should be made for
the differences in static head between the lowest point & the point of measurement to ensure that the
maximum pressure is not exceeded at the lowest point. If the drop in pressure occurs; the quantity of
water added in order to re-establish the test pressure should be carefully measured. For P.V.C. pipes this
should not exceed 1.5 lit. Per 10 mm of nominal bore for a length of 1 km.
During testing if any joints are found leaky they shall be repaired and/or redone by the Contractor at
his cost till the test is found satisfactory. Similarly, any pipes, collars, specials, show hair cracks,
leaks, etc. during testing the Contractor shall replace them with sound pipes and specials together
with new joints, entirely at his own cost, till a satisfactory test is given. The pipe, specials, etc. which
crack during testing will, however, be supplied by the Contractor, replacement free of cost. The

shall have to open them for testing at no extra cost.
1. Satisfactory hydraulic test shall be regarded when the section under test shall withstand the pressure
as specified by the Engineer-in-charge for about 15 minutes without operating the test pump, the test
pressure being maintained at the specified figures during that 15 minutes interval.
2. The field test pressure shall be as per circular no. MJP/RCC/322, dated 31-12-1997. After laying &
jointing any pipeline, the pipe line must be hydraulically tested to ensure that pipes & joints are
strong enough to withstand the maximum pressure likely to be developed under working conditions.
All pipe lines should be tested as per the following field test pressures. Field test pressure for
MS/DI/PSC/PVC/CI/Concrete Pipes. As Para 6.4.4.2 of G.O.I. manual on water supply & treatment
should not be less than the maximum of the following.
a) 1½ times the maximum sustained operating pressure.
b) 1½ times the maximum static pressure in the pipe line.
c) Sum of maximum sustained operating pressure & the maximum surge pressure.
d) Sum of maximum pipe line static pressure, subject to maximum surge pressure, subject
to maximum equal to work test pressure for any pipe / fitting incorporated.
The field test pressure should wherever possible be not less than 2/3 work test pressure appropriate
to the class of pipe except in case of spun iron pipes & should be applied & maintained for at least
four hours. If the visual inspection satisfies that there is no leakage the test can be passed.
Where the field test pressure is less than 2/3 the work test pressure, the period of test should be
2
increased to at least 24 hours. The test pressure shall be gradually raised at the rate of 1 Kg/cm /min. If
the pressure measurements are not made of the lowest point of section an allowance should be made for
the differences in static head between the lowest point & the point of measurement to ensure that the
maximum pressure is not exceeded at the lowest point. If the drop in pressure occurs; the quantity of
water added in order to re-establish the test pressure should be carefully measured. For P.V.C. pipes this
should not exceed 1.5 lit. per 10 mm of nominal bore for a length of 1 km.
During testing if any joints are found leaky they shall be repaired and/or redone by the Contractor at
his cost till the test is found satisfactory. Similarly, any pipes, collars, specials, show hair cracks,
leaks, etc. during testing the Contractor shall replace them with sound pipes and specials together
with new joints, entirely at his own cost, till a satisfactory test is given. The pipe, specials, etc. which
crack during testing will, however, be supplied by the Contractor, replacement free of cost. The
