2. DELIVERY
2.1 HPA Butterfly Valves are shipped with the disc in
fully closed position for the protection of the disc.
2.2 The valve specification details are marked on the
nameplate and valve body. A typical nameplate is
shown in Fig. 1.
2.3 The valves are delivered with end protecting caps
to avoid damage of internals and flange facing.
2.4 Handwheels for gear operated valves are
packed separately in the same packing box. The
pin is attached to the gear box shaft using an
adhesive tape.
2.5 For lever operated valves, the hand lever is
either assembled with the valve or shipped loose
depending on size.
1. SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Do not exceed the valve pressure-temperature
rating limitations.
Exceeding the pressure-temperature
rating limitations marked on the valve may result in
significant damage to the valve and personal injury. Users
of these valves should ensure that the process design
pressure-temperature is less than or equal to the rated
pressure-temperature of the valves. If required, user
should incorporate appropriate limiting and monitoring
devices in the system for safe operation of the valve.
Use the valve for specified application only.
User to
ensure that the valve is used only for the specified
application as agreed between the manufacturer and
the purchaser.
Follow the safety rules and regulations.
User must be
aware of all the safety rules and regulations related to the
environment in which the valve is to be used.
Do not disassemble the valve or remove it from the
pipeline while the valve is pressurized.
Disassembling
or removing a pressurized valve will result in uncontrolled
pressure release. Always isolate the relevant part of the
pipeline, release the pressure from the valve and remove
the media before moving the valve. Be aware of the type
of media involved. Protect people and the environment
from any harmful or poisonous substances. Make
sure that no dust or dirt can enter the pipeline during
valve maintenance.
Beware of disc movement and keep hands, tools and
other foreign objects out of the valve opening while
valve is actuated.
Disconnect supply sources and
make sure valve actuation is in “fail safe” state before
performing any work. Failure to do this may cause
damage and/or personal injury.
