Start-up
Before start-up or putting the valve back into
service, make sure the following conditions
are met:
− The valve is properly installed into the
pipeline (see the 'Installation' chapter).
− The leak and function tests have been
completed successfully (see the 'Testing
the installed valve' chapter).
− The prevailing conditions in the plant
section concerned meet the valve sizing
requirements (see information under 'In-
tended use' in the 'Safety instructions
and measures' chapter).
Start-up/putting the device back into oper-
ation
1. Allow the valve to cool down or warm up
to reach ambient temperature before
start-up when the ambient temperature
and process medium temperature differ
greatly or the medium properties require
such a measure.
2. Slowly open the shut-off valves in the
pipeline. Slowly opening these valves
prevents a sudden surge in pressure and
high ow velocities which can damage
the valve.
3. Check the valve to ensure it functions
properly.
