Safety
WARNING: Trapped air requires considerable time to compress and
when it is compressed is highly dangerous. It has enough stored
energy to separate parts with considerable force.
Seals in high-pressure vessels are also susceptible to explosive
decompression; the O-rings or rubber gaskets used to seal pressurised
pipelines tend to become saturated with high-pressure gases. If the
pressure inside the vessel is suddenly released, then the gases within
the rubber gasket may expand violently, causing blistering or explosion
of the material.
All pressure equipment has a particular pressure rating and care must be
taken to ensure that no item is used in a situation that may cause its working
pressure to be exceeded.
All personnel involved in pressure testing must be formally trained, competent
and utilising the appropriate PPE.
Safe-Lok devices, where fitted, should be checked for positional security to
avoid unnecessary movement of the collar
Ensure the identification band/plate is fitted and is displaying the correct
information as per the Tag Sheet/Index
