4 Shipment and on-site transport
The work described in this chapter may only be performed by
specialist personnel quali
fi ed to perform the corresponding task.
4.1 Accepting delivery
Perform the following steps after receiving the goods:
1. Check the scope of supply. Compare the data on the butter fl y
valve type plate with the delivery note. For details about the
type plate, see Chapter “2 Markings on the device”.
2. Check the supply for transport damage. Report transport
damage through the PFEIFFER of fi ce and the transport com-
pany, see the delivery note.
3. Select suitable lifting equipment and load handling devices
according to the weight and dimensions of the valves to be
transported and lifted, see the transport documentation and
Chapter “3.4 Technical data”.
4.2 Unpacking the valve
Observe the following procedures:
Ö
Unpack the valve directly before lifting for installation into the
pipe.
Ö
Check the valve for damage.
Ö
Use suitable transport equipment for on-site transport.
Ö
Only remove the protective caps on the butter fl y valve inlet
and outlet directly before installation into the pipe. They pro-
tect the butter
fl y valve against damage by preventing the en-
trance of foreign material.
Ö
Dispose of the packaging according to local regulations.
4.3 Transporting and lifting the valve
Danger due to falling of suspended loads!
Ö
Do not stand under suspended loads.
Ö
Secure the transport paths
Overturning of the lifting equipment and damage to the load
lifting equipment by exceeding the lifting capacity!
Ö
Only use approved lifting equipment and load lifting equip-
ment whose lifting capacity corresponds at least to the weight
of the valve and the packaging if applicable.
Danger of injury due to tipping of the valve!
Ö
Observe the centre of gravity of the valve.
Ö
Secure the valve against tipping and twisting.
DANGER
WARNING
Danger of injury due to incorrect lifting without lifting equip-
ment!
When lifting the valve without lifting equipment, injuries may oc-
cur, especially in the torso area, depending on the weight of the
valve.
Ö
Observe the occupational health and safety regulations ap-
plicable at the installation site.
Damage to the valve due to improper fastening of the sling!
The lifting eye/eyebolts on the actuators are used only for actua-
tor assembling and disassembling as well as for lifting the actua-
tor without the butter
fl y valve. These fastening points are not in-
tended for lifting the complete valve.
Ö
When lifting the valve, make sure that the entire load is car-
ried by the sling that is fastened to the butter
fl y valve body.
Ö
Do not fasten the load-bearing sling to the actuator, hand
wheel or other components.
Ö
Observe the conditions for lifting, see Chapter 4.3.2.
Ö
Do not use the control air lines, accessories or other compo-
nents with safety functions for suspension or damage them.
4.3.1 Transporting the valve
The transport notes from the packaging (e.g. wooden box) must
be followed. The valve can be transported using lifting equipment
such as a crane or a forklift.
Ö
Comply with the transport conditions.
Transport conditions
Ö
Protect the valve against external in fl uences, such as impacts.
Ö
Do not damage the corrosion protection (paint, surface coat-
ing). Report any damage immediately and remedy it after
consultation.
Ö
Protect the pipes and any attachments from damage.
Ö
Protect the valve against moisture and dirt.
Ö
When the valve is in the standard version, the permissible
transport temperature is from –20 to +65 °C.
4.3.2 Lifting the valve
When installing the valve in the pipe, suitable lifting equipment
should be used, such as a crane or a forklift. Use suitable tested
slings and suitable fastening to make sure that the surfaces and
contact surfaces are not damaged, and that no other damage
occurs to the valve (e.g. actuator accessories, piping, sealing ele-
ments).
