1 Safety instructions and measures
Intended use
The SAMSON Type 3241G Globe Valve in combination with the Type 3271 or Type 3277
Pneumatic Actuator and a solenoid valve is designed to regulate the flow rate, pressure or
temperature of fuel gases in gas‑consuming equipment.
The valve, actuator and solenoid valve are designed to operate under exactly defined condi‑
tions (e.g. operating pressure, process medium, temperature). Therefore, operators must en‑
sure that the control valve is only used in applications that meet the specifications used for
sizing the valve at the ordering stage. In case operators intend to use the control valve in oth‑
er applications or conditions than specified, contact SAMSON.
SAMSON does not assume any liability for damage resulting from the failure to use the de‑
vice for its intended purpose or for damage caused by external forces or any other external
factors.
Î Refer to the technical data and nameplate for limits and fields of application as well as
possible uses.
Reasonably foreseeable misuse
The control valve is not suitable for the following applications:
− Use outside the limits defined during sizing and by the technical data
− Use outside the limits defined by the valve accessories mounted on the control valve
Furthermore, the following activities do not comply with the intended use:
− Use of non‑original spare parts
− Performing service and repair work not described in these instructions
Qualifications of operating personnel
The control valve must be mounted, started up, serviced and repaired by fully trained and
qualified personnel only; the accepted industry codes and practices are to be observed.
According to these mounting and operating instructions, trained personnel refers to
individuals who are able to judge the work they are assigned to and recognize possible
hazards due to their specialized training, their knowledge and experience as well as their
knowledge of the applicable standards (e.g. Gas Appliances Regulation (EU) 2016/426).
Furthermore, the operating personnel must be specially trained for the correct and safe
handling of fuel gases in gas‑consuming equipment.
SAMSON does not assume any liability for personal injury or property damage caused by
untrained operating personnel.
