Installation
Crush hazard arising from actuator and
plug stem moving.
Î
Do not insert hands or finger into the
yoke while the air supply is connected to
the actuator.
Î
Before working on the control valve,
disconnect and lock the pneumatic air
supply as well as the control signal.
Î
Do not impede the movement of the actu-
ator and plug stem by inserting objects
into the yoke.
Î
Before unblocking the actuator and plug
stem after they have become blocked
(e.g. due to seizing up after remaining in
the same position for a long time),
release any stored energy in the actuator
(e.g. spring compression). See
associated actuator documentation.
Risk of personal injury due to exhaust air
being vented.
While the valve is operating, air is vented
from the actuator, for example, during
closed-loop operation or when the valve
opens or closes.
Î
Wear eye protection when working in
close proximity to the control valve.
Risk of personal injury due to preloaded
springs.
Actuators with preloaded springs are under
tension. They can be identified by the long
bolts protruding from the bottom of the actu-
ator.
Î
Before starting any work on the actuator,
relieve the compression from the pre-
loaded springs (see associated actuator
documentation).
To test the valve functioning before start-up
or putting back the valve into operation, per
-
form the following tests:
5.4.1
Leak test
The plant operator is responsible for per
-
forming the leak test and selecting the test
method. The leak test must comply with the
requirements of the national and internation
-
al standards that apply at the site of installa
-
tion.
Our after-sales service can support you to
plan and perform a leak test for your plant.
1. Slowly apply the test medium to the valve
until the test pressure is reached. Avoid
sudden surges in pressure since the re
-
sulting high velocities may damage the
valve.
2.
Check the valve for leakage to the atmo-
sphere.
3. Depressurize the pipeline section and
valve.
4. Rework any parts that leak (see informa-
tion below under ‘Adjusting the packing’)
and repeat the leak test.
