Safety instructions and measures
1.1 Notes on possible severe personal injury
DANGER !
Risk of bursting in pressure equipment.
Valves and pipelines are pressure equipment. Impermissible pressure or improper
opening can lead to valve components bursting.
Î
Observe the maximum permissible pressure for valve and plant.
Î
Before starting any work on the control valve, depressurize all plant sections affect-
ed as well as the valve.
Î
Drain the process medium from all the plant sections concerned as well as the
valve.
Risk of injury due to incorrect handling of oxygen or cryogenic gases in applica -
tions.
The valve can be used for oxygen service or applications with cryogenic gases. Oxy-
gen is a hazardous substance, which reacts quickly, leading to combustion and explo-
sions. Contact with cryogenic gases causes severe frostbite and cold burns (cryogenic
burns). Operating personnel must be trained for these applications. Unqualified oper-
ating personnel expose themselves and others to an increased risk of injury.
Î
Operating personnel must be sufficiently trained and be made aware of the haz-
ards in applications involving oxygen or cryogenic gases.
Î
Instructions and information on how to safely handle devices for oxygen service
can be found in the Manual
u
H 01.
1.2 Notes on possible personal injury
WARNING !
Risk of burn injuries due to hot or cold components and pipelines.
Depending on the process medium, valve components and pipelines may get very hot
or cold and cause burn injuries.
Î
Allow components and pipelines to cool down or warm up to the ambient tempera-
ture.
Î
Wear protective clothing and safety gloves.
