1.1 Intended use
i) Check that the product is suitable for use with the intended fluid.
ii) Check material suitability, pressure and temperature and their maximum and
minimum values. If the maximum operating limits of the product are lower than
those of the system in which it is being fitted, or if malfunction of the product
could result in a dangerous overpressure or overtemperature occurrence, ensure
a safety device is included in the system to prevent such over-limit situations.
iii) Determine the correct installation situation and direction of fluid flow.
iv) Spirax Sarco products are not intended to withstand external stresses that may
be induced by any system to which they are fitted. It is the responsibility of the
installer to consider these stresses and take adequate precautions to minimise
them.
v) Remove protection covers from all connections and protective film from all name-
plates, where appropriate, before installation on steam or other high temperature
applications.
1.2 Access
Ensure safe access and if necessary a safe working platform (suitably guarded)
before attempting to work on the product. Arrange suitable lifting gear if required.
1.3 Lighting
Ensure adequate lighting, particularly where detailed or intricate work is required.
1.4 Hazardous liquids or gases in the pipeline
Consider what is in the pipeline or what may have been in the pipeline at some
previous time. Consider: flammable materials, substances hazardous to health,
extremes of temperature.
1.5 Hazardous environment around the product
Consider: explosion risk areas, lack of oxygen (e.g. tanks, pits), dangerous gases,
extremes of temperature, hot surfaces, fire hazard (e.g. during welding), excessive
noise, moving machinery.
1.6 The system
Consider the effect on the complete system of the work proposed. Will any proposed
action (e.g. closing isolation valves, electrical isolation) put any other part of the
system or any personnel at risk?
Dangers might include isolation of vents or protective devices or the rendering
ineffective of controls or alarms. Ensure isolation valves are turned on and off in a
gradual way to avoid system shocks.
