ABSTRACT:
A method of testing snap type pipe connectors utilizes the same clamp that is used to clamp the pipe connectors together. The connectors are a part of pipe sections, with each connector having a profile that radially interferes with the other so that under straight axial compression, the connectors are snapped together. The clamp tool that applies compressive force will be reversed after the compressive force has been applied to apply a tensile test force. The test force is greater than the compressive force required to snap the pipe connectors together.
