The record required by Subsection A of this Section must include the recording gauge charts, test instrument calibration data, and the reasons for any failure during a test. Where elevation differences in the section under test exceed 100 feet, a profile of the pipeline that shows the elevation and tests sites over the entire length of the test section must be included. Each recording gauge chart must also contain: 1. the operator's name, the name of the person responsible for making the test, and the name of the test company used, if any; 2. the date and time of the test; 3. the minimum test pressure; 4. the test medium; 5. a description of the facility tested; and 6. an explanation of any pressure discontinuities that appear on any chart.
