3.3 Storage/preservation
If commissioning is to take place some time after delivery, we recommend that the
following measures be taken for storing the valve:
CAUTION
Damage due to frost, humidity or dirt
Corrosion/contamination of the valve!
▷
Store the valve in a dry, dust-free and vibration-free, frost-proof room where
the atmospheric humidity is as constant as possible.
▷
Protect the valve against contamination, e.g. with suitable caps or film.
CAUTION
Damage due to excessive valve closing force
Damage to the seat/disc interface!
▷
Store the valve in the closed position.
▷
For soft-seated valves, ensure that the valve is closed using little force only. This
will prevent premature cold flow (compression set) of the thermoplastic
material.
