PRESSURE VESSELS

Air receiver tanks and other pressure containing vessels such as, but

not limited to, pulsation bottles, heat exchangers, moisture separators

and traps, shall be in accordance with ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel

Code Section VIII and ANSI B19.3 Safety Standards.

MANUAL RELIEF AND SHUTOFF VALVES

Install a manual relief valve to vent the compressor to atmosphere. In

those instances where the air receiver tank services a single compressor,

the manual relief valve can be installed on the receiver. When a manual

shut- off valve, and a safety relief valve installed upstream from the

manual relief valve. These valves are to be designed and installed as to

permit maintenance to be performed in a safe manner. Never substitute

a check valve for a manual shut-off valve (block valve) if the purpose is to

isolate the compressor from a system for servicing.

CAUTION

ASME coded pressure vessels must not be modified, welded, repaired,

reworded or subjected to operation conditions outside the nameplate

ratings. Such actions will negate code status, affect insurance status

and may cause severe personal injury, death, and property damage.

DANGER

Safety valves are to protect system integrity in accordance with ASME

Codes & ANSI B19.3 safety standards. Failure to use safety valves of

the proper capacity and pressure will cause severe personal injury or

death.

DANGER

Failure to properly size, set & install pressure relief valves can be fatal.

CAUTION

Relieve compressor and system air pressure by opening the appropri-

ate manual relief valve prior to servicing. Failure to relieve all system

pressure may result in severe personal injury, death & property damage.
