Subject to technical alterations and misprints! 4 Testing of KLINGER Valves KLINGER Valves are pressure-tested in accordance with EN 12266-1. The pressure test comprises the tests P10, P11 and P12. Testing the resistance to pressure of the ball (P20) is not included in the standard package.
6 Safety Instructions This operation manual must be brought to the attention of the operating personnel. 6.1 General Notes on Safety The safety instructions for valves also apply to the pipeline systems, into which they are installed. This operating manual exclusively focuses on safety instructions, which are to be additionally complied with for valves.
» when applying internal pressure for the first time (pressure test, trial operation) a sufficient safety distance is to be maintained. » when pressurized (medium), it is prohibited to open screw connections (with the exception of those on hand levers and handwheels). »...

Electromagnetic radiation hazard: » The hazards resulting from possibly created electromagnetic radiation are to be consulted in the operating manual of the actuator manufacturer. Hazards linked to the operational environment: » The ambient atmosphere and the ambient temperature are to be set in a manner that has no negative influence on the valve, the actuator of the valve, and the medium.

7.8 Sealing Element for Special Requirements Due to a modular kit of system components, the sealing elements can be fitted with special gaskets in accordance with the requirements. This can also be achieved with already installed ball valves.All sealing elements are pre-installed in a pre-finished state! CAUTION: The ball and the sealing ring must be lubricated during installation.
7.9 Special Requirements Stuffing Box Labyrinth stuffing box Area of application: - Ideal for most applications Area of application: Graphite stuffing box - High-temperature Stuffing box set with O- Area of application: - Low and high vacuum ring sealing - Gas applications wT 2858/02 Page 16...
Furthermore, it should be ensured that the valves and possibly mounted actuators have not been damaged during transport. Please also check that the supplied valves (types, nominal sizes etc.) correspond with the order. KLINGER Fluid Control is to be immediately notified of any kind of deviations. Regarding damage obviously resulting from transportation, please contact the freight forwarder in charge of delivery.
9 Operating Principle With its "elastic sealing system" the ball valve guarantees full tightness at both high and lowest pressures. The necessary contact forces between the ball-shaped shut-off section and the sealing elements are generated by the pressure differential created in the shut- off valve.

The U-sleeve on the outer circumference of the holding disc is fully chambered (only refers to holding disc design) and provides tightness to atmosphere towards the body connector section. Exerted forces: F1….Force of the medium exerted on the ball F2…Force of the medium exerted on the sealing element Fv….Pre-stress force of the F1 + F2 + FV...
The retaining washer negates movement of the sealing ring in radial direction (1), against the rear (2) and against the bore (3). The ball presses against the sealing ring (4). The sealing ring can therefore neither set nor shift, as it is enclosed on all sides (applies to retaining washer).
11.1 Welding Instructions When welding, the requirements relating to both welding and quality and their respective norms must be complied with. Welded hexagon nipple materials Material designation Material No. Klinger Si % Mn % Cr % Mo % Ni % ...
11.1.2 Welding Instructions for Long Design (KHA-SL) At a distance of 20 mm from the edge of the body, a temperature of +200 °C may not be exceeded. Carry out temperature checks. Cooling the ball valve body during welding is advisable. Following cooling down, the tightening torques of the connection screws must be checked against the values from the table.

13.1 Fitting the Actuator When fitting actuators, the requirements of the actuator manufacturer have to be mandatorily complied with. The manufacturer of the KLINGER Ballostar® KHA assumes no liability for damage resulting from improper actuator installation. In case of doubt, it is recommended to discuss every actuator installation with the manufacturer of the actuator and the valve.
