gas
The following table defines the steps for adjusting SF
6
pressure in t he
connection valve unit (5):
Step Action Remark
1 Open the tap (21) on the SF
6
cylinder and adjust the gas outlet
using the reducing valve (22 (low
rate of flow).
From time to time, close the tap
(21) to read the pressure on the
pressure gauge (11).
See the ”Calculating the SF
gas filling pressure for use
of the pressure gauge
(tools)” module.
2 Resume filling until the desired
pressure is reached.
3 Close the tap (21) and the valve
(22) in that order.
