What do I do when pressure test fails because accessible joints were skipped?

Sealing, Leakage, Mastic & Pressure Testing.1 field-polished — seal/test detail check

If accessible joints were skipped before a pressure test, stop and walk the accessible joints before retesting.

Field checklist

Ask foreman

The accessible joints were not all sealed before test. Do you want me to mark and repair them before retest?

Do not

Do not keep retesting without a repair walk.

Why it matters

Retesting without a systematic repair pass wastes time and makes the crew look unprepared.
