During a verifier's piping purge test, intermittent spurts are created to

• A. Dislodge moisture from the system
• B. Dislodge particles of foreign matter in the system
• C. Test for leaks in joints
• D. Calibrate pressure gauges

Answer: (B)

Intermittent spurts are used to create turbulence in the line so loose debris and foreign matter that may be trapped in the piping can be knocked free and carried out by the purge gas. This keeps the system clean before further testing or operation, preventing contaminants from causing blockages or affecting readings. While moisture removal and leak testing are important, these spurts mainly serve to dislodge and remove particulate matter, not to test for leaks or calibrate gauges.
