FOREWORD
The following instructions are offered as a reference to aid the valve user when installing,
maintaining or operating
ESOV
(
Emergency Shutoff Valves
).
This document, consisting
of basic information, should be of interest to the layman as well as the experienced
valve user; however, it does not replace the need for an understanding of the
particular application, and is not intended to be a complete instruction for the
inexperienced valve user.
1. RECEIVING & HANDLING
A. Upon receipt of valves, they should be inspected for shipping damage. The areas
to inspect are the pressure retaining shell, valve ends, and valve operating
mechanisms such as handwheel, actuator, stem, etc.
B. If valves show no sign of shipping damage, they should be stored in a sheltered
area to protect them from weather, dirt and damage. Materials attached to protect
valves during shipment should not be removed until time of installation in the line.
C. Each valve should be handled only with apparatus that will safely support the valve
assembly weight. Slings should never be placed around the handwheel, stem or
gland adjustment parts. Protect valve ends by leaving end protectors in place until
their removal is necessary. Valves are shipped in the open or closed position,
depending on the valve type, to protect seating surfaces and should be left in these
positions, if possible, until completion of installation. Check valves will be shipped
with material blocking the disc from swinging during transit.
2. VALVE TRANSPORTATION / STORAGE
A. Check the packaging of valve before transportation according to standard. If the
packaging is damaged, repair it so that the valve can be safely stored and
transported.
B. The paint, the nameplate and the sealing face of flange shall be protected during
transportation. No part of the valve can be dragged on the ground, and the valve
must be adequately protected from abrasion and impact during transport.
C. The valve shall be stored at a safe location to protect against rain and dust if it will
not be installed immediately. Valve shall be stored in ventilated and dry storehouse
for protection. It is not permitted to store the valve outdoors. Valve end flanges
shall be covered.
D. If the valve is electrically triggered, care shall be taken to protect the electrical
components from moisture.
E. Check and clean the valve if the it has been stored over six months, and pressure
test before using the valve if the valve has been stored over twelve months.
