Additional Technician Safety Concerns
Ensure all personnel adhere to the following additional safety precautions during EVT-Pro testing:
•
Do not
stand in front of the discharge side of a pressure relief valve when testing.
•
Exercise
extreme care when examining a pressure relief valve for visible or audible leakage.
•
Know
the points of possible media exhaust or leakage for the valve being tested. Some valves exhaust media at
locations other than the valve outlet.
•
Ensure
installed pressure relief valves provide adequate access around the valve to include overhead clearance for
equipment mounting. Per Consolidated drawings, the minimum overhead clearance is 18 inches. If an overhead
obstruction is present, check if the valve can be tested using the reduced height bracket kit.
•
Use caution
when testing pressure relief valves installed in flammable or toxic environments. Ensure appropriate
protective measures are being implemented.
DO NOT OPERATE THE EVT-PRO IF SAFETY IS QUESTIONABLE!
“GE Energy/Consolidated® is not responsible for damage or personal injury caused by failure to follow the instructions
contained in this manual, poor maintenance of the EVT-Pro, or improper use of the equipment. Consolidated® emphasizes
that working with high pressure media is dangerous and can cause serious injury or death. The operator of the EVT-Pro must
be aware of this danger and operate the equipment accordingly.”
