Joint Tester 102"

The Cherne® Air-Loc® Joint Tester, 102" (part #9198) tests individual pipe joints in installed 102" large-diameter pipe per ASTM C1103, isolating one joint at a time so a leak can be found and fixed before the line is backfilled and placed in service. The tester seals the joint between its end elements, pressurizes the isolated space, and a short test verifies the joint's integrity.

Key Features

• Joint-by-joint verification — test each joint individually instead of hydrostatically testing the entire run.
• Air or water testing from the factory — capable of testing to 15 psi air or 50 psi water with no modifications.
• Fast five-second test — determines joint integrity quickly on very large-diameter pipe where whole-line testing is impractical.
• Sleeveless, lightweight aluminum design — simplifies assembly and handling at this pipe size.
• Independent, adjustable wheels — move the tester through the pipeline between joints.

Applications

Used by heavy-civil pipeline contractors and municipalities for acceptance testing of very large-diameter installed pre-cast concrete pipe — trunk sewers, storm drains, and culverts — per ASTM C1103.
