Safety instructions and measures 1.1 Notes on possible severe personal injury DANGER Risk of bursting in pressure equipment. Valves and pipelines are pressure equipment. Improper opening can lead to valve components bursting. Î Before starting any work on the control valve, depressurize all plant sections affect‑ ed as well as the valve.
Risk of personal injury due to preloaded springs. Valves in combination with pneumatic actuators with preloaded springs are under ten‑ sion. These control valves with SAMSON pneumatic actuators can be identified by the long bolts protruding from the bottom of the actuator.
