Hello
I'm currently re-submitting my portfolio for marking so that I can go on to my ACS.
I have had "check standing pressure" a lot on my portfolio as I have some standing pressures in there of 46mb, which is high but well within the 75mb limit for a LOP system.
I was under the impression that any standing pressure under 75 mb was adequate and not a cause for concern due to the regulator working ony when there is a flow of gas.
Any help is much appreciated.
Matt
EDIT
For any1 who is remotely bothered o.0
Just called Gas Safe technical and the guy said above 30mb I should contact Transco as the regulator should be locking out at 28-30mb
additionally I looked in my BPEC Gas Safety Manual which states, "Check the standing pressure. his is measured when no gas if flowing. Standing pressure should only be used a a guide and not used as a basis for either contacting the Gas Emergency Service or altering the pressure."
Arses and elbows?
Either way I have come to the following conclusion. If its over 30mb it is a guide to check the working pressure, and if the working pressure is 21mb +/- 2mb its fine. Is this safe?
I just want to pass my portfolio and take my ACS
