Instructions
1 This vessel can contain pressurized air; this can be potentially dangerous if the equipment
is misused.
2 This vessel must only be used as a compressed pulsation damper and must be operated
within the limits specified on the data plate.
3 No alterations must be made to this vessel by welding, drilling or other mechanical methods
without the written permission of the manufacturer.
4 Devices for pressure and temperature control must be attached to this vessel or its piping
system. The devices must protect the vessel against circumstances other than mentioned
on the data plate.
5 These devices must be designed so that the pressure will not permanently exceed the
maximum allowed pressure PS, except for short pressure surges of 1.1 times the design
pressure.
6 This vessel has been designed and built to guarantee an operational lifetime in excess of
20 years and an infinite number of pressure load cycles. Therefore, there is no intrinsic
need for a service inspection of the vessel when used within the design limits in its intended
application. However, national legislation may require a service inspection.
