Where does the pressure in the plumbing system come from?
Hydrostatic and pumping
Why pressure vessel required for booster pump?
To maintain constant pressure in the plumbing system
What is static pressure in Fluent. Is it the same as hydrostatic pressure. But why does it increase through the channel sometimes?
Is a closed circuit hydraulic system.
How do you perform a hydrostatic plumbing leak test?
To perform a hydrostatic test on plumbing/pipe you must pressurize the the pipe to the pressure that your local authority having jurisdiction has established. The system will be pressurized with water to various psi's depending on what king of pipe was used. I work in the fire sprinkler industry, and when we hydrostatic test a fire sprinkler system we "charge" it to 180 psi and then it must maintain that pressure for a period of 2 hours losing no less than 3 psi. The pump we use is comprised of an electric motor that is connected to compressor type valve body like the ones you see on a pressure washer. We connect a water hose to the intake side of the valve body and then pump water into the system through an orifice that is downstream from the main check valve. We leave an axillary drain open that is located at the farthest point from the water main that is supplying the system. We allow water run through the system until any and all air has been purged from the lines. Then we close the drain and as I stated earlier we pump it up to 180 psi. Obviously you will not pressurize pvc,cpv, or most other types of pipe that way. If I were you I would see if I could find a code book that was written for the jurisdiction you are in and go from there.
How the purge-dip system works by refering to the concept of hydrostatic pressure?

What would cause a plumbing line to not hold pressure?
A leak somewhere in the system.
If you want to test the inlet pipes for leakage what pressure is recommended and for how long?
Hydrostatic test 48 hours depending on local code / height of the system / System working pressure rating / materials used in the system
How to replace pressure release valve in residential plumbing system?
That would depend on which part of the system the RELIEF valve is located
Why is there air in the plumbing system?
to increase pressure so the water flows and doesent go stale
What pressues should you except in plumbing pipe test?
Depand apone the system required pressure for water supply. it should be 1.5 times of max system pressure and for drainage only gravity pressure is enough to test the system.
What excretory systems is partly based on the filtration of fluid under high hydrostatic pressure?
Circulatory system heart lungs and also Urinary system kidneys and liver
How many pounds of pressure should a plumbing system hold under HUD guide lines How long should this pressure be held?
