Safety instructions and measures Personal protective equipment SAMSON recommends checking the hazards posed by the process medium being used (e.g. u GESTIS (CLP) hazardous substances database). Depending on the process medium and/ or the activity, the protective equipment required includes: − Protective clothing, gloves, eye protection and respiratory protection in applications with hot, cold and/or corrosive media −...

Start-up and shutdown procedures fall within the scope of the operator's duties and, as such, are not part of these mounting and operating instructions. SAMSON is unable to make any statements about these procedures since the operative details (e.g. differential pressures and temperatures) vary in each individual case and are only known to the operator.
Safety instructions and measures 1.1 Notes on possible severe personal injury DANGER Risk of bursting in pressure equipment. Ball valve assemblies and pipelines are pressure equipment. Excessive pressurization or improper opening can lead to valve components bursting. Î Observe the maximum permissible pressure for ball valve and plant. Î...

Safety instructions and measures WARNING Risk of personal injury due to exhaust air being vented from pneumatically operated components. When the ball valve is operated with a pneumatic actuator or pneumatic valve accesso- ries, exhaust air may be vented from the actuator, for example, while the ball valve is operating in closed-loop control or when the ball valve opens or closes.
Safety instructions and measures WARNING Risk of personal injury due to residual process medium in the ball valve. While working on the ball valve, residual medium can flow out of the valve and, de- pending on its properties, cause personal injury, e.g. (chemical) burns. Î...
