5.4 Operating materials
5.4.1 Lubricating the removable valve components
To lubricate the removable or detachable
valve components during assembly, use the
greases specified in Table A. Removable or
detachable valve components are all screw
connections, especially pressure-retaining
screw connections, and other components
within the distribution of forces. All removable
or detachable valve components are lubricated
with the same grease if they are lubricated in
the assembly process.
The operating temperature of the valve is
definitive for selecting the grease to be applied
for the removable valve components (cf. Table A).
5.5 Removing the valve bonnet
If only the seat shall be lapped, the complete
valve bonnet with compressed spring can be
removed.
Removal of valve bonnet with mounted
pneumatic drive A 160 see operating instruction
SEMSH-0067.
Remove lead seal. Take off cap (19, 20, 21).
Remove dowel (40) and turn spindle nut (22)
securely by hand (without tool!) against the
adjusting screw (17). In doing so, the spring
(15) becomes locked. Measure distance from
upper edge spindle (11) (or (7.2) (at orifice T1-Z),
SOH) to upper edge adjusting screw (17) and
register it. Loosen bonnet nuts (14) and lift off
valve bonnet with locked spring (15).
5.2 Disassembling indications
Observe disassembling sequence to preserve
the valve set pressure.
ATTENTION
Loosen bonnet nuts (14) only if the spring (15)
is locked or released as otherwise the bonnet
studs (13) cannot absorb the compression way of
the spring (15).
For working at nuts (18, 22) or adjusting
screw (17), secure the spindle (11) (or (7.2)
(at orifice T1-Z), SOH) against rotating as
otherwise the valve seat (2.1) or the bellows (8)
can be damaged.
ATTENTION
The dismounted valve bonnet must not be
disassembled further in any case.

5.4.2 Lapping abrasives
It is necessary to use special lapping abrasives
that contain finely distributed hardened
particles for lapping seat surfaces on body and
disk seats. The lapping abrasive specified in
Table B is recommended by Sempell
