AQUATHERM PIPING FOR COMPRESSED GAS SYSTEMS (AIR AND INERT GASES) AND USING COMPRESSED GAS FOR PRESSURE TESTING
TECHNICAL BULLETIN: 201705A – AQTTB Rev. 2
Date Issued: 4 May 2017
Warning – Failure of a compressed gas (air or inert gas) system can be extremely violent and dangerous. In a compressed gaseous media test or piping system, energy is applied to compress the gaseous media in addition to pressurizing the system. If failure occurs, both energies can be suddenly released and can be extremely violent compared to failure during leak testing or system operation with an incompressible liquid testing media.
