4.1 ContainerValvePreparation
Therearetwomethodsavailableforfillingthecontainers,eitherbypressureorbyweight.Thepreferredmethodisto
fillbyweight,asthisismoreaccurateandnottemperature‐dependent.
Detailedbelowarethestepsnecessarytopreparethecontainervalveassemblyforfilling:
Connectthefilladaptor(FasTest®METHP0198Aorequivalent)tothevalveoutletport(valveoutletisa
G⅝"malethreadandthefilladaptorisaG⅝"femalethreadwithaswiveladaptorononeendand3/8"NPT
ontheotherend).Thefilladaptershouldbe
connectedtothefillmanifoldviathe3/8"NPTport.
