FAQs

What are Cherne Test Plugs used for?

Cherne Test Plugs can isolate pipe sections, manage flow, or carry out testing on sewer and pipeline systems. The appropriate configuration depends on the task and site requirements.


What is the difference between blocking and flow-through test plugs?

A blocking plug stops flow and isolates a section of pipe. A flow-through plug allows controlled flow to continue while work or testing takes place. The right configuration depends on whether you need complete isolation or continued flow.


How do I choose the right Cherne Test Plug?

Consider the pipe diameter, application, required back pressure and whether you need to block or maintain flow through the pipe completely. Also consider site access and available inflation equipment when selecting a plug.


Can Cherne Test Plugs be used for pipe testing?

Yes. Testing configurations are available for applications where a section of pipe needs to be isolated during testing. Select the plug according to the pipe and testing requirements.


What is the maximum back pressure for a Cherne Test Plug?

The maximum specified back pressure is 0.8 bar. Use the plug only within its rated limits and under suitable site conditions.


What inflation connections are available?

Type 26 Female QRC are standard to suit our inflation hoses and inflation equipment.


Can Cherne Test Plugs be used where access is restricted?

Their compact construction makes them suitable for applications with limited working space or access. The plug still needs to be correctly selected for the pipe and application.


What should I check before installing a Cherne Test Plug?

Check that the plug is suitable for the pipe diameter, application and expected back pressure. Also inspect the plug, fittings, and surrounding pipe before use, and install it in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions.
