Mich. Admin. Code R. 408.7060 - Three-year inspection and test requirements
Rule 60. Section 8.6.5.15.3 is added to the ASME A17.1 code to read as follows:
8.6.5.15.3.
(1) Cylinders must be tested at intervals of
not more than 36 months.
(2)
Three-year inspection and test requirements are as follow:
(a) The relief valve setting must comply with
section 3.19.4.2 of the ASME A17.1 code. The relief valve must be resealed if
the relief valve setting is altered or if the seal is broken.
(b) Test the relief valve setting by first
inching the empty car upward to engage the plunger stop ring or to engage other
suitable blocking provided and then apply pressure from the pump to check the
setting. A copy of test forms must be maintained on site in the machine room or
space available to elevator personnel pursuant to section
8.6.1.4.1 of ASME A17.1. Procedures
for set test are as follows:
(i) Put rated
load in the car and locate it at any convenient level.
(ii) Open the disconnect switch and locate
the elevation of the platform with respect to a convenient reference.
(iii) For cylinders that are not completely
exposed, after not less than 2 hours, note the position of the platform with
respect to the chosen reference. For cylinders that are completely exposed,
after not less than 30 minutes, note the position of the platform with respect
to the chosen reference. A change in the car position during a cylinder test
that cannot be accounted for by visible oil leakage or temperature change of
the oil indicates a failure of some type requiring further inspections, tests,
or repairs. An accessible written record of all oil levels and all oil added
must be maintained in the machine
room.
