Î Check with the plant operator for details on further protective equipment. Revisions and other modifications Revisions, conversions or other modifications to the product are not authorized by SAMSON. They are performed at the user‘s own risk and may lead to safety hazards. Furthermore, the control valve may no longer meet the requirements for its intended use.
Safety instructions and safety measures Referenced standards and regulations The SAMSON Type 3525 Globe Valve complies with the requirements of ASME B16.34. 1.1 Notes on possible severe personal injury DANGER Risk of bursting in pressure equipment. Control valves and pipelines are pressure equipment. Improper opening can lead to valve components bursting.

Risk of personal injury due to preloaded springs. Valves in combination with pneumatic actuators with preloaded springs are under ten- sion. These control valves with SAMSON pneumatic actuators can be identified by the long bolts protruding from the bottom of the actuator.
Risk of valve damage due to the use of unsuitable lubricants. The lubricants to be used depend on the valve material. Unsuitable lubricants may cor- rode and damage the valve surface. Î Only use lubricants approved by SAMSON (see parts list). EB 8823 EN...
