SSV OPERATING PRINCIPLE Safety Shut-off Valve 8600 (SSV 8600) is designed as independent safety device in order to protect the downstream pipe against over- or under-pressure failures by immediately stopping of the gas flow. This happens as soon as the downstream pressure reaches the pre-adjusted over pressure (OPSO) or under-pressure (LPSO) set points.

REMOTE POSITION INDICATOR (REED CONTACT) ASSEMBLY ON THE FIELD: Remote position indicator can be delivered as "Assembly Kit" and mounted on Safety shut-off device directly on the field. This has to be done in the following way ( items mentioned below refer only to Figure 7): Manually trip the Safety Shut-off valve by the mean of button for voluntary intervention (see Figure 4), so that it is in the closed position;...
Installation All delivered Safety shut-off valves SSV 8600 are produced, checked for resistance and tightness and adjusted in accordance with the requirements of EC Pressure Equipment Directive 97/23/EG. In any case the acting national norms and standards about installation, start-up and maintenance of the safety devices and gas installations have to be strictly respected.

The Safety shut-off valve can be installed in the horizontally or vertically. The device should be not impaired in its function by other installation components. In particular the effectiveness/operability must be ensured by measuring and breathing lines each time. To install the safety device the following should be provided: ·...

To connect the sensing lines: We recommend to use for impulse sensing lines the 8/10 pipe, which is connected to the angle (WE10-P/LR) impulse intake (15) and on the downstream pipe to the pressure intake (plug connection DN ⁄ ‘’) as shown on the Figure 10. These connections must be inserted in a straight section of the downstream pipe.

Start-up COMMISSIONING / RESSETING OF THE SAFETY SHUT-OFF VALVE Safety shut of valve SSV8600 can be delivered having only OPSO function (over pressure shut-off) or both OPSO + LPSO (over and low pressure shut-off). To identify the delivered model refer please to "Selection of the SSV 8600 models"...

SETTING The Safety shut-off valve is supplied with set points specified in the order. The set point can be adjusted in the range mentionned in the “spring selection table“. When the installed spring is appropriate to obtain the required pressure, proceed as follows (Figures 8 and 1 1): ·...
Afterwards a tightness test with 1. 1 X PS must be performed. When changing pressure containing parts their compliance with PED must be assured. After Guarantee only with repair by Itron. The maintenance works required for the Safety shut-off valve are closely linked to the quality of gas supplied (moisture content, liquid hydrocarbons, impurities in general) and the degree of filtration performed upstream of the safety device.

· The device has to be also regularly examined for corrosion danger in the interior and external area and be taken from use if noticeable corrosion is discovered. · The device must be cleaned with a wet cloth only. Do not use any alcohol containing solvent or cleaning agents All pressures must be discharged before performing any maintenance operation on the safety device!

Pressure loss calculation Pressure loss of the shut-off valve Series 8600 is a function of pressure, temperature and gas density: Δ P = (Q / Cg) where: Δ P : pressure loss (bar) absolute working pressure (bar) flow rate referred to normal conditions (Nm flow coefficient (see table below), natural gas with relative density d=0,6 and absolute temperature 273K.
