5.2 Pre-charge pressure testing
frequency
It is recommended that the following testing
frequencies be maintained:
– after each installation
– one week after commissioning
– eight weeks after commissioning
If no significant gas loss is detected, the future
test intervals can be carried out once per year.
NOTICE
Continuous operation at high operating
temperatures requires more frequent testing.
The nominal values of the pre-charge
pressure (p ) are based on a charging
0
temperature of 20 °C.
5.3 Testing the pre-charge
pressure

On small hydraulic accumulators, and wherever
possible, the pre-charge pressure (p

Testing without the FPU-1 charging
and testing unit
If the accumulator is set up as per the fold-out
page or by using the safety and shut-off block
(SAF or SAB), the pre-charge pressure (p
also be checked via the fluid side.
– Isolate the hydraulically charged bladder
accumulator with shut-off valve  from the
system.
– Use pressure relief valve  to slowly drain
the bladder accumulator on the fluid side.
– Watch the pressure gauge .
– The pressure will initially fall slowly. It will
drop suddenly only after the hydraulic
accumulator has drained completely. This
pressure is the same as the pre-charge
pressure (p ) of the bladder accumulator.

– If the indicated pre-charge pressure (p
differs from the nominal pressure, it must
be corrected as described above, see
section 4.3.
