gas bottle tap (9).
D
Open and close the cock (11) of
the pressure reducer to eliminate
any air inside the tube (12)
(approx. 3 s at low flow- rate).

4 Open the SF
6
gas bottle tap (9)
and adjust gas output by acting on
the cock (11) of the pressure
reducer (reduced flow rate).
D
Close the tap (9) from time to
time to check pressure on the
gauge (13).
D
Start filling again until the
required pressure about 0.05 MPa
is reached.
D
Close in this order : the tap (9),
then the cock (11).
