9 Instructions for use
Instructions
1 This vessel can contain pressurised air; this can be potentially dangerous if the equipment is
misused.
2 The vessel shall only be used to store compressed air and shall not be subject to rapid
fluctuation of pressure.
3 The vessel shall only be used within the pressure and temperature limits stated on the data
plate and the testing report, which should be kept in a safe place.
4 No alterations must be made to this vessel by welding, drilling or other mechanical methods
without the written permission of the manufacturer.
5 Make sure that the vessel is equipped with suitable and appropriate safety and control fittings
and replace them with new ones if necessary. Consult the Parts list for part number
information. The safety valve must be fitted directly to the vessel and the discharge capacity
should be higher than the air intake of the compressor. See also Reference Conditions and
Limitations.
6 Do not store the vessel near heating sources and inflammable substances and avoid storing
the vessel in badly ventilated rooms.
7 Use vibration dampers to reduce the vibration during operation as this can cause failure. Do
not mount the vessel on the ground or fixed structures.
8 Drain condensate from the vessel daily to prevent corrosion inside the vessel. During
maintenance, carried out every 12 months, check for the presence of internal corrosion.
Check more frequently if the vessel is used with an oil-free compressor or when it is used in
adverse conditions (high humidity, presence of acids).
If corrosion is present, the minimum thickness is 3.45 mm (0.13 in) for the shell and 3.4 mm
(0.13 in) for the head.
The legal checks have to be made in accordance with the local laws and rules where the
vessel is used
