2 General
These operating instructions apply to KSB – Gate, Globe and
Check valves (see section 4.1, 4.2).
Development and production of KSB valves are subject to a
QA system according to DN/ISO 9001.
Correct installation and maintenance or repair will ensure
trouble free operation of the valves.
The manufacturer does not assume any liability for these valves
if the operating instructions are not being observed.
The valves are marked to ASME B16.34 if
required with an arrow indicating the flow
direction, Nominal size, Class, material of body,
manufacturer.
The valves must not be operated beyond the limits defined
in the operating instructions/contractual documentation/type
series booklet. Any use beyond the above conditions will lead
to overload which the valves cannot withstand.
Nonobservance of this warning may lead to personal
injury or property damage, e.g.:
- Injury caused by escaping fluids (cold/hot, toxic or under
pressure…)
- Incorrect operation or destruction of the valve.
The descriptions and instructions in this manual refer to the
standard versions but also apply to the related variants.
These operating instructions do not consider :
- incidents which may occur during installation, operation and
maintenance.
- the local safety regulations. It is the user’s responsibility to
ensure that they are observed, also by the installation staff
involved.
For actuated valves, the specified connection parameters and
the installation and maintenance instructions – including the
operating manual for the actuator – must be observed.
Handling a valve requires skilled and
experienced personnel.
The personnel in charge of operation, maintenance and
installation of this valve must be aware of the interaction
between the valve and the plant.
Operator’s errors concerning the valve may have serious
consequences for the entire plant, e.g.:
- fluid may escape
- downtime of the plant/machine
- adverse effect/reduction/increase of the efficiency/function
of a plant/machine.
For further questions or in case of damage to the valve, please
contact your KSB Sales Office.
For further questions and supplementary orders, especially
when ordering spare parts, please always state the type series,
version and serial no. (Serial No. is punched at top flange of
the valve on KSB letter side).
The specifications (operating data) of the valves are listed in
the technical documentation & type series booklet of the related
valve (see also section 5).
When returning valves to the manufacturer, please refer to
section 4.
3 Safety
This manual contains basic instructions to be complied with
during operation and maintenance. It is therefore vital for the
fitter and the operator/user to read this manual before installing/
commissioning the valve. Also, this manual must always be
available at the site where the valve is installed.
It is not enough to observe the general instructions listed in
the section “safety”, the specific safety instructions listed in the
other sections should also be observed.
3.1 Safety symbols in this operating Instructions
Safety instructions put forth in this instruction manual whose
nonobservance would involve the risk of personal injury are
specially marked with the general hazard symbol:
in accordance with DIN 4844 (safety sign W9), or with the
electric voltage warning sign:
In accordance with DIN 4844 (safety sign W 8),
Safety instructions whose nonobservance would involve hazard
to the valve and jeopardize its operation have been marked
with the word
Instructions directly attached to the valve, (e.g. nominal
pressure) must be complied with and maintained in a legible
condition.
3.2 Qualification of personnel and training
The personnel for operation, maintenance, Inspection and
Installation must be adequately qualified for the work involved.
The personnel’s responsibilities, competence and supervision
must be clearly defined by the user. If the personnel in
question is not already in possession of the requisite know-
how, appropriate training and instructions must be provided.
If deemed necessary, the manufacturer/supplier will provide
such training and instructions at the user’s request. In addition,
the user is responsible for ensuring that the contents of these
operating instructions are fully understood by the personnel
in question.
3.3 Danger or nonobservance of the safety
instructions
Nonobservance of the safety instructions may lead to personal
injury and also to danger for the environment and the valve
itself. Nonobservance of these safety instructions will also
forfeit the user’s warranty.
Such noncompliance could, for example, result in:
- failure of essential functions of the valve/plant
- failure of prescribed maintenance and repair practices
- hazard to people by electrical, mechanical or chemical effects
- hazard to the environment due to leakage of hazardous
substances
