1. Application of the test system
The test system ROHRTEST-4 allows the computer-aided, automated tightness test
of sewage pipelines, muffs, shafts and separators after the test standards nationally
binding for these installations. In the result of the test, standardized test reports are
produced which document the test course and the test result.

2.6. Measuring-equipment SHAFT
There are two different test procedures for the use of the ROHRTEST-measurement
uipment SHAFT:
a, level-alteration-measurement
On this occasion the level-alteration is recorded opposite the zero-water-stand at
beginning of the test and is calculated the water-loss-quantity with help of the shaft-
geometry. The pressure-alteration yielding itself through the level-alteration amounts
to at most 5 mbar.
Measuring-area: 50 mm level-alteration
Appliance-technology: Control unit ST04,
Measuring-equipment SHAFT
b, water-loss-compensation
With this Test procedures, the water-level is stopped steadily at the zero-water-stand
over the entire test procedure. The addition of water-losses takes place
automatically, the loss-installment is recorded over the test procedure.

Calibration of measurement equipments AIR, WATER, HIGH PRESSURE
The measuring-facilities of the system ROHRTEST are basing on high-quality
sensors for pressure and water flow which are subjected extensive tests before
delivery.
In order to support the users of the installation in the proof of the precision opposite
her/its/their clients, all measuring-facilities are calibrated. The Calibration reports
belong to the delivery capacity of the respective installations.
Through the application of DKD-certificated calibration equipment the retracing of the
measurements to the German national norm is given.
A repetition of the calibration is recommended by the manufacturer in distances of 1
years, please contact for this purpose your supplier as well as. the appliance-
manufacturer.
Influence of the atmospheric pressure on the pressure-measurements
Through this, measuring-proceeding would use, the recorded test pressure remains
independently from the atmospheric pressure, d.h. Weather-changes, on the agenda
wind and similar factors don't have any influence on the test result.
Since the water-loss as well as. Pressure-waste from a leaky tube-wall as well as. a
tube-connection dependent on the difference-pressure of inner and outside-pressure
is, the test pressure (inner-pressure) should be put in relatively to the atmospheric
pressure (outside-pressure).
In order to enable this, the functions "Calibration atmospheric pressure" are existing
for the measurement equipments AIR, WATER and HIGH PRESSURE. By
implementation of these functions, the exact reference of the test pressure to the
current environment-atmospheric pressure is guaranteed directly before beginning of
the tube-test.
