Crane D923 Installation And Operating Instructions

COMMISSIONING

In the D931/D933/D934 and DP931/DP933/DP934 ranges, the flow rate is established by
measuring the differential pressure using the P84 test points - red is high pressure and blue
is low pressure. All valves are fitted with our ʻMicrosetʼ handwheel, which indicates the
valve set position, open to shut is 4 complete turns. The outer ring indicates 1/10th of turns
and the inner window indicates complete turns open, ie. a reading of 3 in the inner window
and 1 on the outer ring indicates 3.1 open; 4 being fully open.
Set flow rate as follows;
• connect measuring device to test points following the connection procedure specified by
the manufacturer of the device
• either by calculation or use of graphs, equate differential pressure to flow rate.
Graphs are available on our website or from our technical department
• flow regulation is achieved by adjusting the handwheel position
• once design flow rate is achieved, note handwheel position. The handwheel contains a
setting facility which should be used to maintain the set position, this can be set
as follows;
- remove cap in centre of handwheel
- using a 3mm Allen key tighten the centre screw until it stops, care should be taken
not to over tighten
- replace centre cap
- the valve can now be closed to isolate but will only open to the set position

COMMISSIONING VALVES
D921/923 - D931/933/934 - DP931/933/934
Crane Double Regulation Valve (DRV) & Fixed Orifice Double Regulation Valve (FODRV);
• are Y-pattern globe valves having characterised disks tending towards equal
percentage performance
• the double regulating feature allows valve opening to be set with an 3mm Allen key
• operation of the valve is by means of the Microset hand wheel
• the D921/D923 DRV and D931/D933/D934 FODRV valves are WRAS approved
• the DP931/DP933/DP934FODRV are designed as ʻCompanion Valvesʼ for the
Differential Pressure Control Valve
