10. Contacting us To ensure trouble-free and safe operation of the valve, it is essential to be familiar with the contents of this BR12b Instruction Manual, and also with the general instructions for installation and operation, before installing and operating the valve.
FUNCTIONAL PRINCIPLE The valve regulates mass-flow by a linear movement of the valve stem, which may be operated pneu- matically, electrically or manually. As the stroke of the valve alters, the openings in the cage can be re- leased or covered.
OPERABILITY, MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR - STANDARD CONSTRUCTION The operability of the regulator valve during use is based on maintaining an appropriate flow characteristic and not exceeding the permitted leakage level for the valve. To ensure long-term correct and safe operation of the valve, it is essential to carry out regular recorded inspec- tions.
4.2. Replacement of the valve seat and the valve plug If it is necessary to change the valve seat and valve stem due to a change in the operating conditions or due to wear and tear, proceed as follows: Before making the change, ensure that the valve is not under pressure and is not contaminated. Replacing the valve plug Loosen the upper part (bonnel) of the valve by opening the body nuts (21) between the body and the top of the valve.
OPERABILITY, MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR – MODELS WITH EXTENDED OR BELLOWS CON- STRUCTION The regulator valve’s operability during use is based on maintaining an appropriate flow characteristic and not exceeding the permitted leakage level for the valve. To ensure long-term correct and safe operation of the valve, it is essential to carry out regular recorded inspec- tions.
5.2. Replacement of the valve seat and the valve plug If it is necessary to change the valve seat and valve plug due to a change in the operating conditions or due to wear and tear, proceed as follows: Before making the change, ensure that the valve is not under pressure and is not contaminated. In order to achieve a better seal when changing the valve seat and valve block, we recommend lapping the seat and the block with a fine abrasive paste.
PNEUMATIC P/R DRIVE (For drawing numbers, see BR11 manual) When the pressure rises in the actuator pressure chamber, a force is applied to the diaphragm in the actuator unit. If this force exceeds the spring force of the springs in the second chamber, the springs are compressed and the actuator stem starts to travel out or in, according to the function.
6.1. Changing the operating mode of the drive No additional components are required in order to alter the direction of operation of type P/R pneumatic actua- tor. Changing P to R and vice versa Disconnect the valve from the actuator. Ensure that no air pressure is applied to the actuator.
To change the drive function from R to P, proceed as follows: Remove the springs (31) from the diaphragm plate (28). Undo the special nuts (34) from the bolts on the actuator. Remove the diaphragm with its diaphragm plate, spacer ring, washer and spacer cover (or spacer co- vers for drive sizes 630 and 1000).
PNEUMATIC TYPE P1/R1 DRIVE When the pressure rises in the actuator pressure chamber, a force is applied to the diaphragm in the actuator unit. If this force exceeds the spring force of the springs in the second chamber, the springs are compressed and the drive stem starts to travel out or in, according to the function.
7.1. Changing the operating mode of the actuator No additional components are required in order to alter the direction of operation of type P1/R1 pneu- matic actuator. Disconnect the valve stem from the actuator stem. Remove the top cover of the actuator (44), taking care that the tension lock is loosened right to the end in accordance with the note on the warning label.

To change the drive function from R1 to P1, proceed as follows: Remove the springs from the diaphragm plate. Loosen the thin nut (53) on the drive stem. Remove the diaphragm (55) with its diaphragm plate (45), spacer ring (47), washer (50) and cover (or spacer covers for drive sizes 630 and 1000) (48/49);...
It is possible to equip model BR12b valves with electrical actuator. Sizing the actuator to the regulator valve is normally a part of the bidding process. It is also possible to supply model BR12b valves with a purely manual operation (type NN), or to fit the pneumat- ic actuator with an additional hand-wheel (type P/R-N).
