Choix d'un tuyau d'air

Utilisez un tuyau aussi gros et aussi court que possible pour assurer un agrafage con- tinu et efficace. Lorsqu'on choisit une pres- sion d'air de 5 kgf/cm2G(70 PSIG), un tuyau d'air de diametre interieur superieur a 6,5mm et une longueur inferieure a 20 m sont recommandes lorsque I'on agrafe a un intervalle de 0,5 seconde entre chaque agrafe. Les tuyaux d'arrivee d'air doivent supporter une pression continue minimale de 10,7 kgf/cm*G (150 PSIG) ou 150% du maximum de la pression produite dans le systeme, la plus forte de ces deux pressions devant 6tre choisie.

Selecting air hose

Use an air hose as large and as short as possible to assure continuous, efficient stapling operation. With an air pressure of 5 kgf/cm*G (70 PSIG), an air hose with an internal diameter of over 6.5 mm (1/4") and a length of less than 20 m (6.6 ft.) is recom- mended when the interval between each stapling is 0.5 seconds. Air supply hoses shall have a minimum working pressure rat- ing of 10.7 kgf/cm2G(150 PSIG) or 150 per- cent of the maximum pressure produced in the system whichever is higher.
