Test Integral Fitted Safety Valve

The integrity of the safety relief valve, which is set at 61 bar and is supplied with the unit, can readily be checked in a similar
manner to the integrity test. Using this method, the safety relief valve does not have to be removed from its position inside the case
where it is attached to the valve test port block.
7.1
Fit a dial gauge that has a full-scale deflection of 90 bar to pressure gauge port 3.
7.2
Fit a sealing plug into the safety relief valve test port 2.
7.3
Connect the unit to a regulated supply.
7.4
Adjust the supply regulator to 70 bar.
7.5
