1.3 Safety instructions
Due to the fact that when testing pressure containers failure of
the wall supports must be taken into account, then a certain dis-
tance to persons, objects and buildings must be maintained.
A pressure test must only be carried out after a visual test and
function test has been carried out without any defects being
found. Basically, pressure testing should be carried out in outside
open spaces. The pre-specified personal protection equipment/
clothing is to be worn according to UVV.
2. Preparations for the test
Check the test equipment to see if the individual parts are com-
plete and in perfect condition.
If necessary clean the lifting bags/mini lifting bags/S.Tec lifting
bags with warm soapy water and dry at room temperature.
Check the bag kits to see if the individual parts are complete and
in perfect condition.
