Just a quick question, without going in to the long boring story behind it.
I have had two gas safe registered engineers measure the gas pressure drop after a gas cooker is installed.
1: Engineer 1 came round and measured a 2 mbar drop when the cooker was installed, so disconnected the cooker on safety grounds saying the cooker was leaking.
2: Engineer 2 came round and did the same, using the exact same type of measuring equipment and measured a 0.5 mbar drop and said that although this was within the safety limits because Engineer 1 had deemed it unsafe, then he said he couldn't reconnect until there was 0 mbar drop. He suggested renewing the piping up to the cooker.
3: Engineer 1 came round and replaced the bayonet brass fitting and rubber house with new, did the measurements again and got exactly the same 2 mbar drop, so disconnected the cooker again.
4: Engineer 2 came back and measured 0.5 mbar again as he did before and yet again disconnected cooker again.
Both are slagging each other off but I'm left in the middle of who to believe and in the meantime I have a cooker disconnected.....
The kit they were both using looked like an old fashioned blood pressure kit with liquid in.
Can anyone shed any light on possible causes of this mystery?
Many Thanks
