9. Are the 4th stage, control panel, and flask relief valves tested, tagged, safety wired and within periodicity? (Every 36 Months)
4th stage= 5250psi +/- 250psig, Control Panel 4950 +/- 50 PSIG, Flask 5500 PSI +/- 100 PSIG. (Note: Valves require special handling and cannot be tested by S/F or AIMD. The original relief valves installed by the OEM are not required to be tagged and safety wired. Compressor relief valves that have been retested, or they are older than 3 years from the date of manufacture, shall have safety wires and tags installed)
-.032 inch minimum diameter for general purpose safety wiring
- Reflief vavle shall be safety wired in such a manner that an attempt to increase the set pressure will result in the tightening of the safety wire
- Wire installed with 5-8 twists per inch
- The termination of safety wire bent under and inward toward the relief valve
Metal tag attached to relief valve should indicate:
-  Lift Pressure
-  Test Date
-  Testing Activity / Ref. (c) 36M-1
