En pruebas de presión de cañerías:
Si la presión de prueba es la misma a ambos

abiertas con la válvula de control retirada y reemplazada con un carretel temporario.
Rotámetros, medidores de desplazamiento positivo y todo otro elemento de línea será
retirado para la prueba y será reemplazado con carreteles temporarios o bridas ciegas
