In case operators intend to use the regulators 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.

Hazards resulting from the special working conditions at the installation site of the regulator must be identified in a risk assessment and prevented through the corresponding safety in- structions drawn up by the operator. We also recommend checking the hazards posed by the process medium being used (e.g. u GESTIS (CLP) hazardous substance database). Î Observe safety measures for handling the device as well as fire prevention and explosion protection measures. Safety features The Type 33-1 Regulator is a safety shut-off valve (SSV) with pressure reducing valve. When relieved of pressure, the regulator is closed by the force of the set point springs in the actua- tor. EB 2551-1 EN...

Safety instructions and measures Responsibilities of the operator The operator is responsible for proper operation and compliance with the safety regulations. Operators are obliged to provide these mounting and operating instructions as well as the referenced documents to the operating personnel and to instruct them in proper operation. Furthermore, the operator must ensure that operating personnel or third persons are not ex- posed to any danger.
Safety instructions and measures 1.1 Notes on possible severe personal injury DANGER Risk of bursting in pressure equipment. Regulators and pipelines are pressure equipment. Impermissible pressure or improper opening can lead to regulator components bursting. Î Observe the maximum permissible pressure for regulator and plant. Î...

If a SAMSON device contains a substance which is listed as being a substance of very high concern on the candidate list of the REACH regulation, this circumstance is indi- cated on the SAMSON delivery note.
Risk of regulator damage due to contamination (e.g. solid particles) in the pipeline. The plant operator is responsible for cleaning the pipelines in the plant. Î Flush the pipelines before start-up.
