USING KÄMMER VALVES AND ACTUATORS CORRECTLY

1.1

General

The following instructions are designed to assist in

unpacking, installing and performing maintenance as

required on Kämmer products. Product users and

maintenance personnel should thoroughly review this

bulletin prior to installing, operating or performing any

maintenance.

DANGER: In most cases Kämmer valves and actuators

are designed for specific applications (e.g. with regard

to medium, pressure, temperature). For this reason

they should not be used in other applications without

first contacting the manufacturer.

1.2

Terms concerning safety

The safety terms DANGER, WARNING, CAUTION

and NOTE are used in these instructions to highlight

particular dangers and/or to provide additional

information on aspects that may not be readily

apparent.

DANGER: indicates that death, severe personal injury

and/or substantial property damage will occur if proper

precautions are not taken.

WARNING: indicates that death, severe personal injury

and/or substantial property damage can occur if proper

precautions are not taken.

CAUTION: indicates that minor personal injury and/or

property damage can occur if proper precautions are

not taken.

NOTE: indicates and provides additional technical

information, which may not be very obvious even

to qualified personnel. Compliance with other,

not particularly emphasised notes, with regard to

transport, assembly, operation and maintenance and

with regard to technical documentation (e.g. in the

operating instruction, product documentation or on

the product itself) is essential, in order to avoid faults,

which in themselves might directly or indirectly cause

severe personal injury or property damage.

1.3

Protective clothing

Kämmer products are often used in problematic

applications (e.g. extremely high pressures, dang-

erous, toxic or corrosive mediums). In particular

valves with bellows seals point to such applications.

When performing service, inspection or repair

operations always ensure, that the valve and actuator

are depressurised and that the valve has been cleaned

and is free from harmful substances. In such cases pay

particular attention to personal protection (protective

clothing, gloves, glasses etc.).

1.4

Qualified personnel

Qualified personnel are people who, on account of

their training, experience and instruction and their

knowledge of relevant standards, specifications,

accident prevention regulations and operating

conditions, have been authorised by those responsible

for the safety of the plant to perform the necessary

work and who can recognise and avoid possible

dangers.

1.5

Installation

DANGER: Before installation check the order-no,

serial-no. and/or the tag-no. to ensure that the valve/

actuator is correct for the intended application.

Do not insulate extensions that are provided for hot

or cold services.

Pipelines must be correctly aligned to ensure that the

valve is not fitted under tension.
