SavOxCap 60
4.2. Tightness Test
The tightness test of the SavOxCap 60 is carried out using the MSA tightness
tester for chemical oxygen breathing protection apparatus. Detailed descriptions
of the structure, function, use and maintenance of the tightness tester can be
taken from the relevant operating instructions (Order No.: D1118845).
The tightness test of the SavOxCap 60 is carried out as follows:
(1)
Push the SavOxCap 60 without carrying strap into the tightness tester in
such a way that the cover points towards the door, close the door and lock.
(2) Set timer to 90 s.
(3) Create overpressure with the lever, i.e. push the lever downwards until it
engages and start the timer at the same time.
(4) After 30 seconds, cover the black pointer with the red pointer.
(5) After a further 60 seconds, the timer signals the end of the test period. Then
read the pressure difference between the red and the black pointers.
The SavOxCap 60 is tight if the black pointer remains in the prescribed pressure
range and if the pressure difference is no more than 5 mbar.
If the pressure drop is more than 5 mbar, the unit must be replaced.
