12. Commissioning of the MQM Quantometer
The start-up procedure of the MQM Quantometer follows the installation
and leakage test of the connections:
1. Openslowlytheupstreamvalve(g.2andg.3)

2. The rate of pressure increase shall not exceed 350 mbar/s.
3. At operation pressure level open the upstream valve completely.
4. Slightlyopenthedownstreamvalve(g.2andg.3).
5. At operation pressure level the downstream valve
can be opened completely.
