(a) the steam receiver shall first be subjected by an appointed examiner to
an hydraulic test; and
(b) the steam receiver shall thereafter, on the first occasion on which it is
again subjected to steam pressure, be-

Procedure on, and method of, examination of air receivers
40. (1) The following provisions apply to the examination of an air receiver, other than a pressurized fuel container, for the purposes of section 27 or 32-

(d) finally, the air receiver shall be-
