LPG Tests

[Koogatubac]

Ok so ive had my LPG for 3/4 of a year now and thats all i seem to do atm, rarely natural gas.

Few questions to see what u guys are doing.

- how are you gas rating appliances? (If you can) Since its a tank not a meter like natural gas
- if your stats on your FGA is reading well, do you accept it regarding your tests
- when your doing your tightness test since its outside im getting alot of waving about due to the wind affecting readings, any easier way?
- after ECV to the property, first thing im doing is cuting a test point in so you dont have to go back and forth to the tank (obv. Making sure the UPSO & OPSO haven't tripped)

Comments always welcome regarding this guys! Doesnt seem theres much LPG gas advice out there.

dont do a lot of lpg, so always having to carry course notes to remind me of what to do. Always surprised to come across combis running off 4 pack bottles, very rich or stupid customers!!!

You can't

Working pressure and FGA

Test it on the gas valve or wear a balaclava or No
- after ECV to the property, first thing im doing is cuting a test point in so you dont have to go back and forth to the tank (obv. Making sure the UPSO & OPSO haven't tripped)
Thats sensible
