Special storage instructions for elastomers
Elastomer, e.g. actuator diaphragm
To keep elastomers in shape and to pre-
–
vent cracking, do not bend them or hang
them up.
We recommend a storage temperature of
–
15 °C for elastomers.
Store elastomers away from lubricants,
–
chemicals, solutions and fuels.
Tip
SAMSON's After-sales Service department
can provide more detailed storage instruc-

5 Installation
We recommend first installing the valve into
the pipeline and mounting the actuator after-
wards.

5.1 Preparation for installation

Proceed as follows:
Note
The plant operator is responsible for clean-
ing the pipelines in the plant.
Î Check the valve to make sure it is clean
and not damaged.
Î Flush and clean the pipeline thoroughly
before installing the regulator.
Note
Any impurities carried along by the process
medium may impair the proper functioning
of the regulator. We recommend therefore
installing a strainer (e.g. SAMSON
Type 2 NI) upstream of the excess pressure
valve (see section 5.4).
Î Check to make sure that the type desig-
nation, valve size, material, pressure rat-
ing and temperature range of the valve
match the plant conditions (size and
pressure rating of the pipeline, medium
temperature etc.).
Î Check any mounted pressure gauges to
make sure they function.
