1 Safety instructions and measures
Intended use
The SAMSON Type 3241G Globe Valve in combination with the Type 3271 or Type 3277
Pneumatic Actuator and a solenoid valve is designed to regulate the flow rate, pressure or
temperature of fuel gases in gas‑consuming equipment. The valve, actuator and solenoid
valve are designed to operate under exactly defined conditions (e.g. operating pressure, pro‑
cess medium, temperature). Therefore, operators must ensure that the control valve is only
used in applications that meet the specifications used for sizing the valve at the ordering
stage. In case operators intend to use the control valve in other applications or conditions
than specified, contact SAMSON.
SAMSON does not assume any liability for damage resulting from the failure to use the de‑
vice for its intended purpose or for damage caused by external forces or any other external
factors.
Î Refer to the technical data and nameplate for limits and fields of application as well as
possible uses.
Reasonably foreseeable misuse
The control valve is not suitable for the following applications:
− Use outside the limits defined during sizing and by the technical data
− Use outside the limits defined by the valve accessories connected to the valve
Furthermore, the following activities do not comply with the intended use:
− Use of non‑original spare parts
− Performing service and repair work not described in these instructions
Qualifications of operating personnel
The control valve must be mounted, started up, serviced and repaired by fully trained and
qualified personnel only; the accepted industry codes and practices are to be observed. Ac‑
cording to these mounting and operating instructions, trained personnel refers to individuals
who are able to judge the work they are assigned to and recognize possible hazards due to
their specialized training, their knowledge and experience as well as their knowledge of the
applicable standards (e.g. Gas Appliances Regulation (EU) 2016/426). Furthermore, the
operating personnel must be specially trained for the correct and safe handling of fuel gases
in gas‑consuming equipment.
