TESTING A NETWORK
Final Commissioning

Advice for Final Commissioning of a Compressed Air Network
I Legal Requirement for Installers according to PED 97/23/EU - ANNEX I Essential Safety Requirements
Example - considering a system working at 6 bar pressure
1.
®
system and that the compressors are running correctly.
2. Leave the pipework under pressure for a period of 12 hours overnight. During this period the Transair
®
system should be
isolated from machines and tools (drop valves should be closed).
3. Upon checking of the system after the 12 hour period, the compressor read can show a 0.3 bar pressure loss (from 3 bar to
2.7bar with constant temperature).
4. The system pressure is increased to design pressure (6 bar in this example) for a further 4 hours again (with no leak
recorded from the Transair
®
system).
5. The system is then increased to 9 bar (1.43 x the max operating pressure) for a period of 1 hour with no further issues
(NB: for this test, pressure of the system can exceed the maximum working pressure).
6. Purge the system, and you can start to work.
3.2. Final Assessment:
Pressure equipment must be subject to final assessment as described below.
3.2.1. Final Inspection:
Pressure equipment must undergo a final inspection to assess visually and by examination of the accompanying documents
compliance with the requirements of the Directive. Test carried out during manufacture may be taken into account.
3.2.2. Proof Test:
Final assessment of pressure equipment must include a test for the pressure containment aspect, which will normally take
the form of a hydrostatic pressure test at a pressure at least equal, where appropriate, at the maximum allowable pressure
multiplied by the coefficient 1.43.
For category I series-produced pressure equipment, this test may be performed on a statistical basis. For series-produced
pressure equipment under the article 4.3, this test is not necessary..
I Requested Documentation for Category I Equipment
To comply with the PED here is a list of documents you should
provide to the end user and how to get them for Transair
®
.
Assembly Guide: for every diameter it is delivered with the
Transair
®
pipes or fittings.
CE Certificate: Transair
®
conforms the European Pressure
Equipment Directive 2014/68/UE for article 4.3 and category I.
Please contact Parker Transair for the latest version.
ISO 9001 Certificate: this document has a validity date.
Please contact Parker Transair for the latest version.
Material Certificate B3.1B for Pipes: it attests the confor-
mity of the aluminium used (according to NF EN 10204). Ask
for this document when placing the order. If needed you can
also request it after delivery with the
batch number marked on the pipes
(see example on this picture).
Material Certificate for Fittings:
the certificate 2.2 attests the quality checks completed during
production (according to NF EN 10204). Ask for this document
when placing the order, it can’t be issued after as the name of
the client and the order number have to be indicated on the
certificate.
Isometric Plan of the System: if needed, the Transair
®
quotation service can help you providing a drawing of the net-
work (transair.quotation@parker.com).
Calculation Note: Transair
®
aluminium pipes are pro-
characteristics, and the TÜV certificate includes control of the
design and of the safety factors. For further information, please
contact Parker Transair.
For the Transair
®
system, the category is defined according to
the diameter and the working pressure:
