(The nature and amount of the extraneous material inside the pipe can be checked during flushing by
placing a rag lightly over the end of the pipe. In the unlikely case that even a small quantity of moisture is
found then the inside of the pipe should be dried out thoroughly.)
Action:
1. Flush the inside of the pipe with nitrogen gas. (Until such time as the moisture disappears.)
2. Carry out a thorough vacuum drying operation. (See page 48)

1 Close the main valve on the nitrogen cylinder.
2 Repeat the above operation for unit B.
3 When the liquid pipe operations have been completed then do the same with the gas pipes.
The piping used must meet the requirements of the JIS standard or equivalent. (Size, material,
thickness,etc.)
Specification: Oxidized phosphorous seamless copper pipe
Long pipe lengths or coiled pipe (copper pipe with heat insulation coating) should be used to avoid the
necessity for frequent brazing.
The whole job is made easier if rolled copper pipe with a heat insulation coating is used.
