Edition 05/2022

 

Operation 

7.1  Initial commissioning 

Normally,  the  valves  have  been  tested  for  leaks  with 
air  or  water.  Prior  to  initial  operation  check  cover 
screws. For tightening torques, see 

Section 1.2

 

 

Unless  otherwise  agreed  there  could  be 
residual amounts of water in the flow section 
of  the  valve.  This  could  result  in  a  possible 
reaction with the medium. 

To  prevent  leaks,  all  connection  screws  should  be 
retightened  after  the  initial  loading  of  the  valve  with 
operating  pressure  and  operating  temperature.  For 
tightening torques, see 

Section 1.2

 
 

7.2  Improper operation and their  

consequences 

  The  ball  valve  is  an  on/off  valve  and  shall  not  be 

operated in an intermediate position.  

Damage  to  the  seat  rings  or  the  ball/stem  or 
ball/stem unit could occur. 

  Crystallisation  may  result  in  damage  to  the  seat 

rings  or  the  ball/stem  or  ball/stem  unit.  This  can 
be  prevented  by  heating.  In  extreme  cases  this 
may cause blocking. 

  If  the  ball  blocks,  do  not  apply  force  as  the 

ball/stem  or  ball/stem  unit  may  break  if  the  max. 
adm. torque is exceeded. 

  Increased  wear  occurs  in  operation  with  solids 

contents. 

  Operation  during  cavitation  leads  to  increased 

wear. 

  Non-observance  of  the  pressure-temperature 

diagram can lead to damage.  

  Do  not  subject  the  lever  to  heavy  loads;  the  lever 

or ball valve may be damaged. 

  Do not use a lever extension as otherwise there is 

a risk of damage. 

 
 

7.3  Shutdown  

The  local  regulations  are  to  be  observed  when 
dismantling the valve. 

Prior to undoing the flange connection ensure, that the 
plant is depressurised and emptied. 

 

Prior to starting any repair work, the valve is 
to  be  thoroughly  cleaned.  Medium  residue 
may  be  in  the  valve  even  if  it  has  been 
properly drained and flushed.  

After  dismantling,  immediately  protect  the  valve 
flanges  against  mechanical  damage  by  using  flange 
caps. See also 

Section 5.1

 

 

Ensure  that  a  remotely  actuated  actuator 
cannot be accidentally switched on.
