What are the TWO (2) safety items that MUST be present on ALL air receivers (e.g. pressure vessels)? We do not have to have a degree in Mechanical Engineering to identify these BASIC needs; rather we just need to inspect EACH of our receivers!
1910.169(b)(3)(i) Every air receiver shall be equipped with an indicating pressure gage (so located as to be readily visible) AND with one or more spring-loaded safety valves. The total relieving capacity of such safety valves shall be such as to prevent pressure in the receiver from exceeding the maximum allowable working pressure of the receiver by more than 10 percent.
