• (c) if the pressure on the gauge drops before the expiration of 10 minutes, locate the leakage by applying liquid detergent or soap water solution to all connections of the gas system but do not use flame to test for leaks; and

• (d) repeat subitems (a), (b) and (c) for each cylinder in a multi-cylinder gas fuel system.

• (a) for evidence of deterioration or leakage without dismantling if a general examination shows that the condition of the liquefied petroleum gas fuel systems is suitable for further service; and

• (b) by witnessing of a gas leakage test in accordance with item 3 of Division II of Part III.

• (a) leaks;

• (d) has been in a fire.

• (a) any lubricating oil or hydraulic power oil tank by way of flame screened vent pipes terminating in a safe location; and

• (b) any lubricating oil or hydraulic power oil system by relief valve discharges leading back to suction sides of pumps or to suitable tanks.

• (a) sounding pipes with suitable means of closure at their upper ends that terminate in a safe location;

• (b) heat resistant gauge glasses protected from mechanical damage and fitted with self-closing valves at the lower end and at the top of the glasses if the valves are connected to the tank below the maximum liquid level; or

• (c) other safe and efficient means where a supplementary means of manual sounding is fitted.

• (a) pipe connections to flanges or other joining arrangements;

• (b) securing arrangements for pumps, non-structural tanks, piping, flexible hose installations and other components;

• (c) piping hazard protection, particularly against heated oil; and

• (d) remote control of valves in systems.

• (a) ships not in excess of 18 m in length and certificated to carry not more than 12 passengers;

• (b) a lubricating oil system in which the oil storage tank capacity is not in excess of 250 L; and

• (c) a hydraulic power oil system for

  • (i) non-essential services, or

  • (ii) units where the total output power is not in excess of 2 kW.

• (a) external and internal parts of pumps and driving components including valves, bearings, controls, and safety devices, except gear or rotary pumps where dismantling is not required if a general examination shows that the condition of the components is suitable for further service;

• (b) systems shut-off valves, safety devices and other components without dismantling if a general examination shows that the condition of the components is suitable for further service; and

• (c) securing arrangements without dismantling if a general examination shows that the condition of the components is suitable for further service.
