iagree From what I understand, water testing was done on the bare block.



where i worked, we water tested gas field pipeline meters after the machining process was complete, but before assembly.
the main body castings and tops were tested to 4000lbs. the working pressure of the meters was 1400lbs max.
john would be correct. a water test would be done on a bare block, not an assembled one.
