The counterflanges must have smooth sealing surfaces
in all cases, e.g. Form C, Form D or Form E according
to Standard DIN 2526 or Form B1 or B2 according to EN
1092-1 or stock finish according to ANSI B16.5. Other

In addition, observe the following for actuators:
WARNING: Never subject actuators to external loads;
this can damage the valve – actuators are not step
ladders -
WARNING: Heavy actuators must be supported in a
suitable manner if it is possible that their installation
situation would exert an impermissible bending force
on the valve.
4 INTENDED USE
The series 132000 valves from Flowserve Essen GmbH
can be installed in all areas endangered by gas
explosion, because they do not have any potential
ignition sources. The valves can be used for shutting off
the flow of non-combustible gaseous mediums and
combustible gaseous and fluid mediums far below the
maximum explosion limit. Inside the valve the
atmospheric range is not reached under the conditions
(see table below); here Directive 95/9/EC is not
applicable. Please note that certain (non-conductive)
mediums at certain flow rates can result in a potential
(static charge), which is subject to the operating
conditions and therefore is the responsibility of the
operator.
4.1 Description of Unit
The valve is a lined control valve. The housing consists
of cast iron and the lining and gaskets are of elastomer
material.
The compatibility of the materials used with the
surrounding mediums must be observed in particular
by the operator.
4.2 Evaluation
Conformance with EN 13463, Parts 1 through 8 (non-
electrical explosion protection)
The fittings fulfill the following requirements.
4.2.1 All exposed parts were subjected to the impact and
environmental stress tests in conformance with
EN 13463-1 by the manufacturer and satisfy the
requirements.
4.2.2 The valve body for the valves consists of cast iron.
Formation of sparks resulting from the effect of exterior
impact is excluded under normal conditions.
