SATEC PIPE & PRESSURE

WARNING!
This equipment uses water at very high pressures. Use caution when
working near any high pressure line.
WARNING!
Wear eye protection and use protective shields or screens whenever any
possibility exists of a hazard from the failure of a specimen, assembly or
structure under test.
Use protective shields whenever a risk of injury to operators and
observers exists from the failure of a test specimen, assembly or
structure, particularly where explosive disintegration may occur. Due to
the wide range of specimen materials, assemblies or structures that may
be tested, any hazard resulting from the failure of a test specimen,
assembly or structure is entirely the responsibility of the owner and the
user of the equipment.
WARNING!
Never pressurize a specimen without bleeding out the trapped air. Use
purge valves on specimen end caps (one end).
WARNING!
Shut off the air and water supplies and discharge residual pressure in high
pressure lines before working on system.
– Disconnect air supply and shutoff water supply.
– Shutoff each manifold shutoff valve.
– Discharge pressure in each high pressure line. Crack line from each
station and line between manifold shutoff valve and static pressure
regulator.
– Bleed pressure between accumulator and manifold shutoff valves.
Make sure system On-Off valve is open.
