Mounting / Disassembly
5.7 Disassembly
Althought the disassembly of a pressure actuated valve in principle proceeds in the reverse
sequence to the mouning; some essential points should be clarified!
- Will the valve to be disassembled be replaced immediately by another?
- Could the valve remain in the pipe?
- If appropriate, does the production process of the plant need to be stopped?
- Is it necessary to inform specific personnel about the disassembly? etc.
Switch off the power and pilot media supply of the device / machine / plant.
Stop the medium. Never remove the armature under pressure.
If necessary, set up warning signs in order to prevent
-
the inadvertent starting up of the devices / machines / plants, or
-
the switching on of the pilot media supply, or
-
the switching on of the medium.
Keep ready some fit tanks to catch up leaking liquids.
5.7.1
Mechanical disassembly
Switch of the pilot media, release the pressure in the pipes and take care to prevent the inad-
vertent switchnig on.
Loosen the fitting of the pilot medium and take away the pipe of the pilot medium.
Close the pipe of the pilot medium if the pipe is not also being disassembled or is not to be immedi-
ately reconnected to another device.
Check up the remaining of the valve body in the pipe. If the valve body must be disassembled loose
the flanged connection or screw the pipes out of the valve body.
Don´t use the top of the valve as a lever.
Also close the pipes if the pipes are not also being disassembled or are not to be immediately
reconnected to another valve.
