Preparation

• 1. Gather necessary tools and safety gear, including pressure gauges, leak detectors, and personal protective equipment (PPE).
• 2. Review all safety protocols and emergency procedures before commencing the inspection.

Initial Checks

• 3. Verify that all gas lines are accessible and free from obstructions.
• 4. Confirm that all valves are properly labeled and operational.

Pressure Testing

• 5. Connect pressure gauge to the test point and ensure a secure fit.
• 6. Gradually increase pressure to the required test level, monitoring for stability.
• 7. Record pressure levels at regular intervals to ensure consistency.

Leak Detection

• 8. Apply a leak detection fluid on joints and connections, watching for bubbling.
• 9. Use electronic gas detectors to scan for leaks in hard-to-reach areas.
• 10. Inspect all fittings and connections visually for any signs of wear or damage.

Post-Inspection

• 11. Depressurize the system safely and remove testing equipment.
• 12. Document all findings, including any detected leaks or pressure discrepancies.
• 13. Ensure all tools are accounted for and store them appropriately.
• 14. Review safety protocols to ensure no steps were overlooked during the inspection.
