 TM 9-2330-329-14&P
VAPOR INTEGRITY TEST--Continued
0152 00
PRESSURE TEST PROCEDURE
1.
Open emergency valve A (25) and valves D and E (26 and 27). Close valves G and J (28 and
29).
2.
Open control shutoff valve (13) on regulator assembly (12).
WARNING
Never remove any accessory items (e.g., manhole cover,
cleanout caps) during pressure test; severe injury or
death may result.
Do not overpressure tank. If tank is overpressurized,
close control shutoff valve and open draincock valve
to reduce overpressure. Failure to follow this warning
may result in serious injury to personnel or damage
to equipment.
3.
Slowly adjust regulator assembly (12) by turning regulator knob (31) clockwise to increase flow of
air into vapor return line and tank until a pressure reading of 17.5 to 18.5 in. water column (wc) is
obtained on gage (30).
4.
Close control shutoff valve (13) on regulator assembly (12).
5.
Wait 5 minutes to verify that pressure reading remains stable at 17.5 to 18.5 in. wc.
6.
Close draincock valve (20) after tank pressure has dropped to 17.5 to 18.5 in. 0.5 in. wc on
gage (30).
7.
At the end of an additional 5 minutes, record the time and final pressure from gage (30). If
pressure drops more than 0.5 in. wc, repressurize tank per step 3 before connecting.
