Design and principle of operation
3.2 Additional ttings
Strainers
We recommend installing a SAMSON
strainer upstream of the valve. It prevents sol-
id particles in the process medium from
damaging the valve.
Bypass and shut-off valves
We recommend installing a shut-off valve
both upstream of the strainer and down-
stream of the valve and installing a bypass
line. The bypass ensures that the plant does
not need to be shut down for service and re-
pair work on the valve.
Insulation
Control valves can be insulated to reduce
heat energy transfer.
Refer to the instructions in the 'Installation'
section.
Test connection
Versions with bellows seal tted with a test
connection (G
1
/
8
) at the top ange allow the
sealing ability of the bellows to be moni-
tored.
Particularly for liquids and vapors, we rec-
ommend installing a suitable leakage indica-
tor (e.g. a contact pressure gauge, an outlet
to an open vessel or an inspection glass).
Safety guard
For operating conditions that require in-
creased safety (e.g. in cases where the valve
is freely accessible to untrained staff), a safe-
ty guard must be installed to rule out a crush
hazard arising from moving parts (actuator
and plug stem). Plant operators are responsi-
ble for deciding whether a guard is to be
used. The decision is based on the risk posed
by the plant and its operating conditions.
Noise emissions
Trims with ow dividers can be used to re-
duce noise emission (see uT8081).
