pending on the operating conditions and du-
ration of operation, regularly check the regu-
lator's ability to function.
In case the downstream pressure rises, for
example, when all the consumers are closed,
and the valve does not shut off tightly

shut-off is impaired by either dirt or natural
wear on the seat and plug. However, it is im

cient in the case of metal-seated plugs and
0.01 % in the case of soft-seated plugs is still
permissible (refer to section 9 on
page 26).
