Storage - Samson 3241-1-Gas Mounting And Operating Instructions

Measures for preparation
6. Move the control valve at an even pace
to the site of installation.
7. Install the valve into the pipeline (see sec‑
tion 5.2.3).
8. After installation in the pipeline, check
whether the flanges are bolted tight and
the valve in the pipeline holds.
9. Remove slings.
Tip
We recommend using a hook with safety
latch (see Fig. 8). The safety latch prevents
the slings from slipping during lifting and
transporting.

4.3 Storage

NOTICE
!
Risk of valve damage due to improper stor‑
age.
− Observe the storage instructions.
− Avoid long storage times.
− Contact SAMSON in case of different stor‑
age conditions or long storage periods.
Note
We recommend regularly checking the con‑
trol valve and the prevailing storage condi‑
tions during long storage periods.
Storage instructions
− Protect the control valve against external
influences (e.g. impact).
30
− Do not damage the corrosion protection
(paint, surface coatings). Repair any
damage immediately.
− Protect the control valve against moisture
and dirt. Store it at a relative humidity of
less than 75 %. In damp spaces, prevent
condensation. If necessary, use a drying
agent or heating.
− Make sure that the ambient air is free of
acids or other corrosive media.
− The permissible storage temperature of
standard control valves is –20 to +65 °C.
Note
Contact SAMSON's After‑sales Service for
the storage temperatures of other valve ver‑
sions.
− Do not place any objects on the control
valve.
Special storage instructions for elastomers
Elastomer, e.g. actuator diaphragm
− To keep elastomers in shape and to pre‑
vent cracking, do not bend them or hang
them up.
− We recommend a storage temperature of
15 °C for elastomers.
− Store elastomers away from lubricants,
chemicals, solutions and fuels.
