Design and principle of operation
3.3 Additional fittings
Strainers
We recommend installing a SAMSON
strainer upstream of the valve. It prevents sol-
id particles in the process medium from
damaging the valve.
Bypass and shut-off valves
We recommend installing a shut-off valve
both upstream of the strainer and down-
stream of the valve and installing a bypass
line. The bypass ensures that the plant does
not need to be shut down for service and re-
pair work on the valve.
Insulation
Control valves can be insulated to reduce
heat energy transfer. Refer to the instructions
in the 'Installation' section.
Safety guard
For operating conditions that require in-
creased safety (e.g. in cases where the valve
is freely accessible to untrained staff), a safe-
ty guard must be installed to rule out a crush
hazard arising from moving parts (actuator
and plug stem). Plant operators are responsi-
ble for deciding whether a guard is to be
used. The decision is based on the risk posed
by the plant and its operating conditions.

3.5 Technical data
The nameplates on the valve and actuator
provide information on the control valve ver-
sion. See the 'Markings on the device' sec-
tion.
Note
More information is available in Data Sheets
u T 8113 and u T 8114.
Noise emissions
SAMSON is unable to make general state-
ments about noise emissions. The noise emis-
sions depend on the valve version, plant fa-
cilities and process medium.
Dimensions and weights
The dimensions and weights for the DIN ver-
sions are listed in Table 3-3.
The dimensions and weights for the ANSI
versions are listed in Table 3-4.
