Blowers

By definition inflatable devices covered by the PIPA Testing Scheme will use blowers. Blowers are fundamental to the operation of the device and will be checked both mechanically and electrically by your inspector. Note that is common for blowers to be moved between devices as, in many cases, it's not possible to always ensure a specific blower will always be used with a specific device. If blowers are swapped or replaced, they must be of the same design and power as used when the device was inspected.

The minimum operating pressure shall be 1kpa unless advised otherwise in the operations manual.
