Spanish term or phrase: "no daba" (in this context)
Hola:

¿Me podrías ayudar con la última parte de la frase?
Entiendo qué significa pero no sé cómo poner en inglés el "no daba" en ninguno de los tubos.

Oración:
Entonces, retomando el tema de la tubería, cuando nosotros hicimos ya la instalación y procedimos a la prueba [PH] hidrostática, la prueba [PH] hidrostática **no daba en ninguno de los tubos**

Mi intento:
So, going back to the piping, when we already set up the installation and proceeded to do the hydrostatic [PH] test, the hydrostatic [PH] test, ****

Gracias.
