Additional Fittings - Samson 44-6 B Mounting And Operating Instructions

Î See Fig. 3-2
Strainers
We recommend installing a SAMSON
strainer (3) upstream of the valve. It prevents
solid particles in the process medium from
damaging the regulator.
Î Do not use the strainer to permanently
filter the process medium.
Î Select a strainer (mesh size) suitable for
the process medium.

Design and principle of operation
Note
Any impurities carried along by the process
medium may impair the proper functioning
of the regulator. We recommend installing a
strainer (e.g. SAMSON Type 1 NI) upstream
of the pressure regulator (u EB 1010).
Pressure gauges
Install a pressure gauge (2 and 4) both up-
stream and downstream of the regulator to
monitor the pressures prevailing in the plant.
