during which the entire surface of all joints under pressure shall be coated with a solution of soap
and water, heavy oil, or other material suitable for the purpose, foaming or bubbling of which
indicates the presence of leaks. All closures shall be in place during test. During this test
operative relief devices shall be clamped, plugged or otherwise rendered inoperative; such
clamps, plugs and similar devices shall be removed immediately after the test is finished. Tanks

leaks are discovered. Every tank tested shall withstand such pressure without distortion or
evidence of impending failure or failure. Failure to meet requirements is sufficient cause for
rejection.
