The application pressures listed here are merely
approximate values
.
The actual pressures depend on the compressed air unit, the accuracy of the indicators
and the precise nature of the damage.
Give the compressed air unit
enough time
until the pressure shown on the pressure
gauge reaches the packer and no longer drops.
When using hydrophilic waterstops
, you must increase the pressure by 0.5 bar.
Increase the application pressure gradually, especially when repairing
longitudinal
cracks and fragmentation
.
When you notice that despite the gradually increasing pressure,
the locks have stopped moving along the toothed strips, the
maximum compression pressure has been reached.
