Pressurize/Charge the 888 Bottles:

1.   Using an external pressure source to charge/recharge the 

Bottle system.

  a.   

Remove plug if needed from Charging supply 

connection. Connect an external pressure source with 

either  very  dry  air  or  Nitrogen  Gas  to  the  Charging 

Supply connection.

 

b.  Open the valve to the external pressure source.

 

c.   Slowly open the Cylinder Valve and the Supply Valve to 

pressurize the Bottles and the Jacket Space.

 

d.   Allow the Pilot Bottle system and the Jacket to charge 

up to the desired set point pressure, if no leaks in the 

system  are  detected.  Close  only  the  Supply  Valve 

once the desired Jacket pressure and the Bottles are 

pressurized to the desired set point.

 

e.   Snug the two threaded Collars and tighten the two Lock 

Nuts to 8 ft-lbs (10.8 Nm).

Flexflo Surge Reliever Adjustment Procedure:

Gauges must be rated for higher than the maximum pressures 

required  at  both  the  Inlet  and  the  Jacket  Loading  ports  of  the 

Flexflo Surge Reliever.
1.   Increase  the  pressure  in  the  Jacket  Loading  port  to  a 

pressure slightly (approximately 50 psig or 3.45 barg) above 

the  desired  Relief  Set  Point  pressure  (the  Line  pressure 

where the Flexflo Surge Reliever will start to open and relieve 

the upstream pipeline pressure). If necessary increase the 

Line pressure at the same time as the Jacket pressure.

Do not exceed the maximum rated differential pres-

sure of the Tube at any time. Refer to the nameplate 

for the maximum differential pressure rating for the 

Flexlo tube.

2.   Gradually apply and maintain the desired Line pressure to 

the inlet of the Flexflo Surge Reliever.

3.  From the Tube Differential Pressure Table obtain:
 

a.   the full open differential pressure DF Maximum for the 

size and tube material in use at the applications coldest 

temperature.

 

b.   The  differential  pressure  where  the  Flexflo  Surge 

Reliever tube begins to flow DF Minimum for the size 

and  tube  material  in  use  at  the  applications  coldest 

temperature.

Note: The Tube Differential Pressure Table informationshows 

average values and variations of+/- 5% can be expected.
