According to the ASSE International Plumbing Dictionary, working pressure is the maximum pressure in a water piping system allowable under normal working conditions. Likewise, test pressure is the pressure applied to equipment to test its ability to operate safely at its rated working pressure.
In each issue of Working Pressure magazine, we will present you with Test Pressure – 10 test questions based on ASSE standards to test your ability to operate under normal working conditions.
This issue we went a little off script, with five random tech trivia questions and five backflow questions.
