They will generally do both test. Electronic first and then a pressure test.

Just because it passes the electronic test doesn’t mean it will pass a pressure test.

The steel itself can have a weak spot absent corrosion.

Yep, I think that’s how it’s done. Ever notice how many mountain peaks named ‘Nellie’s Nipple’ are on a map?

Remember several years ago when a driver on Coffee Road was cremated by a blast from the Coffee Road station?
