Water test
B.
Smoke test
C.
Temperature test
D.
Air test
Answer ( Option B)

Smoke test

Solution

The laid pipes are usually tested to ascertain the water-tightness of the pipes and joints. There are three tests that are commonly performed to test leakage of the pipes and are as follows: 
1. Air Test - Generally used to test underground and vertical pipes. The escape of air from the leaky joint forms bubbles that can be seen visually. 
2. Water Test - Most commonly used for underground house sewer pipes. The drain is plugged at the lower end and the water is filled in the pipe through the upper manhole to maintain a pressure of 1 to 1.5 m depth of water. If there is no drop in the water level in 10 minutes, then there is no leakage from the pipe. 
3. Smoke Test - Generally used to detect leakage of existing vertical sullage pipe or rainwater pipes. In this test, smoke is forced into the pipe with the help of a blower to test the leakage.
