Safety


Pressurised cylinders are potentially lethal and should only be handled by experienced, trained personnel. The following steps should be taken in each installation.

• Pressurised cylinders must not be accepted onto site if the point of location is not ready to accommodate them or is unsuitable.

• Appropriate handling equipment must be used to move them safely around the site to the final point of location.

• Do not store the cylinders free standing or unsupported.• The cylinder bank must be located to a solid load bearing surface capable of

taking the load.• Discharge valve protection caps must not be removed until the cylinders are

mounted in position and ready to have the discharge hoses connected. Discharge hoses must have been installed to the manifold at this point.

• Discharge valve protection caps must be retained for future use.• Actuators must be in the set position prior to mounting to the discharge valve.• The solenoid actuator or pilot cylinder must only be installed when the

system is ready to be commissioned and placed into service.

Cylinder Maintenance • Nominal pressure should be 200 or 300 bar @ 15oC, however

pressure will vary with temperature.• If the indicated pressure loss (adjusted for temperature) exceeds

5% of the nominal pressure (adjusted for temperature) you will need to take action.

Note:– The ProInert cylinder design is such that it opens at a pressure

of 80 bar– All pressurised containers will require hydrostatic “stretch”

testing every 10 years
