2.2 General
This manual contains general installation, operating and maintenance instructions
that must be observed to ensure safe valve operation and prevent personal injury
and damage to property.
The safety information in all sections of this manual must be complied with.
The operating manual must be read and fully understood by the specialist personnel/
operators responsible prior to installation and commissioning.
The contents of this operating manual must be available to the specialist personnel
at the site at all times.
Instructions and information attached directly to the valve must always be complied
with and kept in a perfectly legible condition at all times. This applies to, for
example: flow direction arrow, manufacturer, type designation, nominal pressure,
nominal size, year of construction and material.
The operator is responsible for ensuring compliance with all local regulations not
taken into account in this manual.
The design, manufacture and the testing of the valves are subject to a QM system to
DIN EN ISO 9001 as well as the European Pressure Equipment Directive 97/23/EC.
Compliance with these requirements, however, is based on normal, predominantly
static loading.
Valves exposed to creep-rupture conditions have a limited service life and have to
meet the applicable regulations stipulated in the technical codes.
In the case of customised special variants, further restrictions may apply with regard
to the operating mode and service life. Please refer to the relevant sales literature for
this information.
