NOTE:
It is essential to establish a periodic retesting and preventive maintenance program for pressure relief
valves. The DOT and AAR have set forth a retesting interval that should be considered the maximum length of
time between tests. If your company’s experience indicates that a shorter interval is advisable, a program with
more frequent retesting should be implemented.
NOTE
NOTE:
It is an AAR requirement (refer to D4.04) that new O-rings be installed when a valve is retested.
