− Certain test results certified by SAMSON
lose their validity when the valve is

and leak tests.

vice or repair work not described in these
instructions is performed without prior
agreement by SAMSON's After-sales Ser-

We recommend the following inspection and testing which can be performed while the pro-

9.1 Periodic testing

Depending on the operating conditions,
check the valve at certain intervals to prevent
possible failure before it can occur. Plant op-
erators are responsible for drawing up an
inspection and test plan.
Tip
Our after-sales service can support you in
drawing up an inspection and test plan for
your plant.
Action to be taken in the event of a negative result:
Immediately renew damaged, missing or incorrect
nameplates or labels.
Clean any inscriptions that are covered with dirt and are
illegible.
Check the bolted joint (tightening torque).
Replace the gasket on the flanged joint as described in
section 9.4.1 and section 9.4.2.
