Safety instructions General safety instructions The regulators may only be installed, started up and serviced by fully trained and qualified personnel only, observing the accepted industry codes and practices. Make sure employees or third persons are not exposed to any danger. All safety instructions and warnings in these instructions, particularly those concerning installation, start-up and maintenance, must be observed.

Operation Operation NOTICE When pressure-testing the pipelines with the Start-up regulator installed, make sure the test pres- sure does not exceed 1.5 times the nominal pressure. WARNING! The orifice to adjust the flow rate at the regu- First start up the regulator after mounting all lator must be completely open.
Operation NOTICE Do not adjust the set point to a scale value smaller than 1! Under certain conditions, the set point can- not be adjusted anymore as a result. In this case, the following action is recom- mended: – Relieve the process pressure from both sides of the regulator.

Operation The example shows that 6 turns (counter- Solution: (referring to A to E in Fig. 7) clockwise) are required, starting from the closed orifice (restriction). The calculation is based on the pressure drop Δp in the plant, therefore, you must know this Decommissioning value! Δp = 0.4 bar is specified in the example and...
