Compressed air used for cleaning purposes will not exceed 30 PSI. Use only
with effective chip guarding and personal protective equipment (goggles/shieid,
gloves, etc.)
(c) Use filtered compressed air to blow out and dry all tapped holes in castings.

modern inspection equipment for inspecting component parts having extremely close tolerances
where cracks and other damage cannot be spotted visually.
