4.0 - INSTALLATION
4.1 FILTER
We recommend the installation of a cartridge type filter, with 5 micra filtration degree, as close to the regulator inlet as
possible, without being joined flange to flange, because the filter installed immediately upstream of the regulator may
produce turbulence and cause disturbance in the pressure control of the regulator. Care in filter installation is essential for
the regulator proper operation, as any existing particles in the pipe may take lodge between the seat and the shutter,
damaging them and causing feedthrough.
4.2 CLEANING
Check the pipe cleaning before valve installation. We advise a complete purge of the line with nitrogen or compressed air.
4.3 FLOW DIRECTION AND SYSTEM INTEGRITY
Before starting the equipment installation, it is necessary to check if:
1) The equipment is in perfect conditions, or it has evidence of damage during transportation. If so, do not proceed
with the installation and contact GASCAT.
2) The space provided for access and installation of the equipment is adequate for future maintenance.
3) The installation is designed to support the load applied by the equipment.
4) The inlet and outlet connections, where the pressure regulator shall be installed, are perfectly aligned.
5) All necessary pressure-sensing pick-ups, downstream of the equipment pipeline, were provided respecting the
dimensions recommended by the manufacturer.
6) A pressure gauge, or any other pressure-measuring device, was foreseen for the upstream and downstream of the
equipment to allow for the correct setting up at the operation start-up.
7) A vent line was planned between the regulator and the first outlet shut-off valve to assist the operator during start-up.
8) Check the flow direction marked on the body of the pressure-regulating valve and pay attention at the time of its
installation so that it is properly positioned.
