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.
Special versions of the silencer can be used for oxygen service or applications with
cryogenic gases. Oxygen is a hazardous substance, which reacts quickly, leading to
combustion and explosions. Contact with cryogenic gases causes severe frostbite and
cold burns (cryogenic burns). Operating personnel must be trained for these applica-
tions. Unqualified operating 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
