pipeline without the installed regulator be-
fore start-up.

5.4 Testing the regulator

DANGER
!
Risk of bursting due to incorrect opening of
pressurized equipment or components.
Regulators and pipelines are pressure equip-
ment that may burst when handled incor-
rectly. Flying projectile fragments or the re-
lease of process medium under pressure can
cause serious injury or even death.
Before working on the regulator:
Î Depressurize all plant sections concerned
and the regulator.
Î Drain the process medium from all the
plant sections concerned as well as the
valve.
DANGER
!
Risk of personal injury due to process
medium escaping.
Î Do not start up the regulator until all
parts have been mounted.

WARNING
!
Risk of hearing loss or deafness due to loud
noise.
Noise emission (e.g. cavitation or flashing)
may occur during operation caused by the
process medium and the operating condi-
tions.
Î Wear hearing protection when working
near the regulator.
WARNING
!
Risk of burn injuries due to hot or very cold
components and pipelines.
Depending on the process medium, valve
components and pipelines may get very hot
or cold and cause burn injuries.
Î Wear protective clothing and safety
gloves.
SAMSON regulators are delivered ready for
use. To test the regulator functioning before
start-up or putting back the regulator into
