Table 1
1. Connect the proper manual inflation fixture to a
filtered and regulated nitrogen source, Figure 28.
2. Verify the three-way valve is closed.
3. Set the pressure regulator inlet to 586 kPa (85 psig).
4. Set the pressure regulator outlet to the desired
outlet pressure, Table 1, and allow the system to
stabilize. The exact set point may vary depending
on source pressure, line size and length.
NOTE: Outlet pressure from the regulator must be at
least 6 kPa (9 psig). Increasing the outlet pressure causes
the liner to inflate more quickly; however, increasing the
pressure beyond the recommended setting, Table 1,
may damage the liner during inflation and should be
avoided.

NOTE: Ensure a filter is installed on the gas pressure
source to prevent contamination of the liner.
The use of any manual inflation fixture not
manufactured by or approved by Entegris may
cause inflation problems that result from the
use of an unapproved manual inflation fixture.
