Approved pressure test specifications and instructions or sketches are available at the test site.

For multi-pressure stage equipment, all manual and automatic valves are checked to be in the correct open/closed position.

All automatic valve operating mechanisms are adequately protected against overpressure.

Pressure tests requiring safety nets, safety shields or other restraints at specified safety distances.

Each pathway is equipped with a 1 . 5 to 3 times the pressure range and calibrated within the last 90 days.

All test pipes and joints are rated within the specified limits.

Each access road is equipped with a safety valve set at 5% of the pressure above the initial test pressure, which has been calibrated and complies with the requirements.

The safety valve is installed directly on the test bench or on the pipeline, and so that the manual valve between the test path and the safety valve is not restricted.

All test joints, test covers and blinds are appropriately rated for the pressure.

All changes in test pressure have been indicated on the test sketch or test instructions and signed off by the design

That the test plan is prepared in such a way of small air separation unit that only one access road is pressure tested at a time and that the sequence of tests begins with the highest pressure value.

The tests are carried out by air, or if not, all enclosed spaces are properly ventilated and the equipment and access to these spaces by employees has the necessary means of detection or there are measures to vent the test gases to the outside.

 

Dear Air Separation has extensive technical experience from production and design, and pressure tests must be approved by safety officers of small air separation unitin accordance with standard inspection procedures before they can be carried out.

In the air separation unit, low-temperature liquid is transported by centrifugal cryogenic pump. In order to ensure the reliable operation of the equipment, two sets of low-temperature pumps are generally equipped, one for use and one for standby. During normal operation, the main pump runs at full load, and the standby pump is in standby state under low load operation. Since the working medium temperature of cryogenic liquid pump is about -180°C, the working pressure is very high, and the pump body is installed in the cold box. When the pump fails, it is extremely difficult to maintain. Therefore, how to maintain the stable and reliable operation of cryogenic liquid pump is of great significance.
