Intended use
The Type 3354 Globe Valve is designed for on/off service in process engineering and plants
with industrial requirements. The valve is suitable for liquids, vapors and gases at tempera-
tures from –10 to +180 °C and a nominal pressure of PN 16. The globe valve is combined
with a pneumatic piston actuator.
The control valve is designed to operate under exactly defined conditions (e.g. operating
pressure, process medium, temperature). Therefore, operators must ensure that the control
valve is only used in applications that meet the specifications used for sizing the valve at the
ordering stage. In case operators intend to use the control valve in other applications or con-
ditions than specified, contact SAMSON.
SAMSON does not assume any liability for damage resulting from the failure to use the
valve for its intended purpose or for damage caused by external forces or any other external
factors.
Î
Refer to the technical data and nameplate for limits and fields of application as well as
possible uses.
Reasonably foreseeable misuse
The control valve is not suitable for the following applications:
−
Use outside the limits defined during sizing and by the technical data
−
Use outside the limits defined by the valve accessories mounted on the control valve
Furthermore, the following activities do not comply with the intended use:
−
Use of non-original spare parts
−
Performing service and repair work not described in these instructions
Qualifications of operating personnel
The control valve must be mounted, started up, serviced and repaired by fully trained and
qualified personnel only; the accepted industry codes and practices are to be observed. Ac
-
cording to these mounting and operating instructions, trained personnel refers to individuals
who are able to judge the work they are assigned to and recognize possible hazards due to
their specialized training, their knowledge and experience as well as their knowledge of the
applicable standards.
