Safety relief valve testing and repair procedures... 

When a seasoned engineer thinks of design standards for tanks, piping, safety relief valves, and a host of other equipment he thinks abont the American Petroleum Institute (API). Similarly API tank inspection and repair practices are considered the holy-grail. The API roots took hold in the beginning of World War I, when the domestic oil and natural gas industry worked together to assist the war effort. 

Never tamper with or attempt to repair or alter cylinders, valves, or any safety relief devices. Return cylinders to the vendor for all repairs.
