How do I choose the right size joint tester for my application?

Choosing the right size joint tester depends on the diameter of the pipe you are working with. United Rentals offers testers for a wide range of pipe sizes, from 33 to 77 inches. To ensure a proper seal and accurate test results, measure the inside diameter of your pipe and select a joint tester rated for that specific size. For assistance, contact a United Rentals representative to find the best fit for your project.

How does a joint tester differ from a standard pipe plug?

While a standard pipe plug seals an entire section of pipe, a pipe joint tester is designed to isolate and test a single pipe joint. Our double-bladder joint testing units create a small, sealed void around the joint, allowing you to pressurize only that specific area. This method is more efficient for locating leaks and provides a more accurate assessment of the joint's integrity.

What pressure ratings do United Rentals’ joint testers support?

Our pipe joint testers support a variety of pressure ratings to meet the demands of most municipal and industrial testing standards. The specific pressure rating varies depending on the model and size of the tester. We recommend contacting a United Rentals representative for detailed information on pressure capabilities.
