Strainers
We recommend installing a SAMSON
strainer (3) upstream of the valve. It prevents
solid particles in the process medium from
damaging the regulator.
Î
Do not use the strainer to permanently
filter the process medium.
Î
Select a strainer (mesh size) suitable for
the process medium.
Any impurities carried along by the process
medium may impair the proper functioning
of the regulator. We recommend installing a
strainer (e.g. SAMSON Type 1 NI) upstream
of the pressure regulator (
u
EB 1010).
Pressure gauges
Install a pressure gauge (2 and 4) both up-
stream and downstream of the regulator to
monitor the pressures prevailing in the plant.
