Intended use
The Type 2406 Excess Pressure Valve is used to control the pressure of flammable gases used
as a source of energy, e.g. in boilers, driers, vaporizers, heat exchangers or industrial ov
-
ens. Alternatively, it can control the compressed air supply in process engineering applica-
tions.
The device is designed to operate under exactly defined conditions (e.g. operating pressure,
process medium, temperature). Therefore, operators must ensure that the device is only used
in operating conditions that meet the specifications used for sizing the device at the ordering
stage. In case operators intend to use the device in other applications or conditions than
specified, contact SAMSON.
SAMSON does not assume any liability for damage resulting from the failure to use the de-
vice for its intended purpose or for damage caused by external forces or any other external
factors.
Î
Refer to the technical data and nameplate for limits and fields of application as well as
possible uses.
Reasonably foreseeable misuse
The regulators are not suitable for the following applications:
− Use outside the limits defined during sizing and by the technical data
− Use outside the limits defined by the additional fittings mounted on the regulator
Furthermore, the following activities do not comply with the intended use:
−
Use as safety valve
−
Use of non-original spare parts
−
Performing service and repair work not described
Qualifications of operating personnel
The device must be mounted, started up, serviced and repaired by fully trained and qualified
personnel only; the accepted industry codes and practices must be observed. According to
these mounting and operating instructions, trained personnel refers to individuals who are
able to judge the work they are assigned to and recognize possible hazards due to their spe-
cialized training, their knowledge and experience as well as their knowledge of the applica
-
ble standards.
