 The pressure testing after fitting all the accessories and complete API and GI
piping and welding completely then we have to do the pressure testing at 1.5
times of working pressure.
 Complete system should be tested at 1.5 times of working pressure with Air
before commissioning with cylinders.
 Confirm that the safety links and accessories related to the fire protection and
fire alarm system are tested, approved and put under operation (as per
requirement of Client / Consultant).
