All testing shall be to the satisfaction of the USCG Inspector and the COR. CHECKPOINT - Inform COR and USCG Inspector when final operational test is ready to be performed. Only CO2 and air shall be used for testing. For both tests, the following test procedures shall be used. NOTE - These tests shall be witnessed by the COR at a minimum and by the USCG if required. Test the main carbon dioxide trunk line at a pressure of 1000 psi. With no additional gas being introduced to the system, it shall be demonstrated that the leakage from the system is such as not to permit a pressure drop of more than 150 psi/minute for a 2-minute period. Test the piping from the main bank of 44 cylinders in the steering gear from to the stop valves at each control station. Test each individual actuation line by disconnecting and capping the termination of the actuation piping at each nitrogen control station. Individually pressure-test the actuation lines by pressurizing the lines to 600 psi. Demonstrate that the leakage is such as not to permit a pressure drop of more than 150 psi/minute for a 2-minute period. CHECKPOINT - Upon approval of USCG Inspector and the COR, recertify system ready for use. 4.
