REPAIR MANUAL This manual describes the best procedures for the repair of containers known

to the Institute and takes into account the need for safe, efficient and
economical container performance. However, because any repair operation
depends largely upon the skill of human beings, the machinery employed, the
conditions under which the repair is performed and many other variables
whose significance may not be apparent, the Institute and its members and
personnel cannot and do not assume any liability for damage to persons or
property or other consequences of any procedures referred to herein or of
any omissions relating to repairs, practices and procedures.
