Proper installation and start-up is essential to the safe and reliable
operation of all valve products. The relevant procedures recommended by
Baker Hughes, and described in these instructions, are effective methods
of performing the required tasks.
It is important to note that these instructions contain various “safety
messages” which should be carefully read in order to minimize the risk
of personal injury, and/or the possibility that improper procedures will be
followed which may damage the involved Consolidated product, or render
it unsafe. It is also important to understand that these “safety messages”
are not exhaustive. Baker Hughes can not possibly know, evaluate, and
advise any customer of all of the conceivable ways in which tasks might
be performed, or of the possible hazardous consequences of each
way. Consequently, Baker Hughes has not undertaken any such broad
evaluation and, thus, anyone who uses a procedure and/or tool, which
is not recommended by Baker Hughes, or deviates from Baker Hughes
recommendations, must be thoroughly satisfied that neither personal
safety, nor valve safety, will be jeopardized by the procedure and/or tools
selected. If not so satisfied, contact your local
Green Tag
™
Center if there
are any questions relative to procedures and/or tools.
The installation and start-up of valves and valve products may involve
proximity to fluids at extremely high pressure and/or temperature.
Consequently, every precaution should be taken to prevent injury to
personnel during the performance of any procedure. These precautions
should consist of, but are not limited to, ear drum protection, eye protection,
and the use of protective clothing, (i.e., gloves, etc.) when personnel are in,
or around, a valve work area.
It is the responsibility of the purchaser or user of Baker Hughes’s
Consolidated products to adequately train all personnel who will be working
with the involved product. For more information on training schedules,
please, contat your local Green Tag Center. Further, prior to working with
the involved product, personnel who are to perform such work should
become thoroughly familiar with the contents of these instructions.
Wear necessary
protective equipment
to prevent
