Q

What liquid is used in method C and what does it do?

A

Salt solution

Approx 170-200g salt to 1/2ltr of lukewarm water

16
Q

What measurement is the vacuum pump tested to and for how long?

A

25Hg for 60sec

17
Q

What length is the plastic hose and how much liquid will it hold?

A

Cut to 300mm long and will hold 10cc of fluid

18
Q

What are the two positions on the two way valve?

A

Bomb to reservoir

19
Q

What two sizes of drillbits are supplied?

A

2.5mm

4mm

20
Q

What checks are carried out on the bicycle pump?

A

That it can achieve the pressure of 25 psi

21
Q

What will method J do to the fuse?

A

When the binary gelling is mixed it will be a liquid form and will get into the mechanics of the fuse and will then set hard. Prevents movement

22
Q

What is BD liquid pressurised to?

A

25psi

23
Q

What is the salt solution pressurised to?

A

Until the luting leaks

24
Q

What is method J pressurised to?

A

It’s not pressurised

25
Q

What method of immunisation is used against ECR fuse?

A

Method A
