1. SCOPE.
METHOD 6I1
BOF CABLE PRESSURIZATION TEST
1.1 Scope. This method describes a procedure for performing a pressurization test on BOF tubes in BOF cables. This method is performed to verify that the BOF tubes are free of tears or holes and that all tube coupler connections within the BOF tube path are properly connected.
2. REQUIRED EQUIPMENT AND MATERIALS.
2.1 The equipment and materials in table 6I1-I shall be used to perform this procedure.

3. PROCEDURE.
3.1 Safety summary. The following safety precautions shall be observed:
a. Safety glasses shall be worn when pressurizing the BOF cable. b. Observe warnings and cautions on equipment and materials.
c. Never look into the end of a BOF tube. Always wear approved safety glasses when handling BOF tubes that may be connected to a pressure source.
3.2 Procedure.
Step 1 - Establish communications, if required, using available communication equipment.
Step 2 - Select a BOF tube. Connect the pressure source onto one end of the
BOF tube and the pressure gauge onto the other end of the BOF tube.
Step 3 - Adjust the pressure at the pressure source to 688 kPa (100 PSI).
Allow the tube to stabilize and verify the pressure at the pressure
gauge.
Step 4 - If the pressure at the pressure gauge is the same as that at the pressure source proceed to step 5. If the pressure at the pressure gauge is not the same as that at the pressure source, check the BOF cable for damage, check the tube couplings for leaks, and repeat this test.
Step 5 - Repeat steps 2, 3, and 4 for all tubes.
