UPVC & GRP Pipe Testing Guide

This document discusses factory and site testing procedures for UPVC and GRP pipes. Factory tests for UPVC pipes include dimensions testing, heat reversion testing, impact resistance testing, and others. Site tests for UPVC pipes include gravel bedding inspection, air testing to check for leaks, and water testing for watertightness. Factory tests for GRP pipes include dimensions testing, Barcol hardness testing, and tensile strength tests. Site tests for GRP pipes include inspection of gravel bedding, air testing, deflection testing, and water testing.
