2. DN 150 and larger: attach another sling
to the lashing point on the actuator and
to the rigging equipment.
3. Carefully lift the control valve. Check
whether the lifting equipment and acces-
sories can bear the weight.
4. Move the control valve at an even pace
to the site of installation.
5. Install the valve into the pipeline (see the
'Installation' section).
6. After installation in the pipeline, check
whether the flanges are bolted tight and
the valve in the pipeline holds.
7. Remove slings.
4.4 Storing the valve
NOTICE
!
Risk of valve damage due to improper
storage.
Î Observe the storage instructions.
Î Avoid long storage times.
Î Contact SAMSON in case of different
storage conditions or long storage peri-
ods.
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).
4-4
− Secure the valve in the stored position
against slipping or tipping over.
− 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.
Contact our 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.
Tip
Our after-sales service can provide more
detailed storage instructions on request.
