To Next PageTo Next PageWhat to do if there is increased flow through closed valve (seat leakage) in Samson 3251?
If you notice increased flow through a closed Samson Control Unit valve, it might be due to dirt or foreign particles deposited between the seat and plug. Try shutting off the pipeline section and flushing the valve to remove any debris.
Why is there increased flow through the closed Samson Control Unit valve?
If you notice increased flow through a closed Samson Control Unit valve, it may be due to dirt or foreign particles deposited between the seat and plug. In this case, shut off the section of the pipeline and flush the valve. It could also be that the valve trim, particularly with a soft seat, is worn. Consider replacing the seat and plug.
How to fix actuator that does not move on demand in Samson 3251 Control Unit?
If the actuator or plug stem of your Samson Control Unit does not move on demand, it could be due to a blocked actuator. Check the attachment and unblock the actuator. Also, the signal pressure might be too low. Inspect the signal pressure and check the signal pressure line for any leakage.
What to do if actuator in Samson 3251 does not move through the whole range?
If the actuator or plug stem of your Samson Control Unit does not move through the whole range, the signal pressure might be too low. Check the signal pressure and inspect the signal pressure line for any leakage.
What to do if there is increased flow through a closed Samson 3251 valve?
If you observe increased flow through a closed valve, also known as seat leakage, it could be due to dirt or foreign particles lodged between the seat and plug. Try shutting off the pipeline section and flushing the valve to remove any debris. Alternatively, the valve trim, especially with a soft seat, might be worn. In this case, you should replace the seat and plug.
Why is my Samson 3251 Control Unit valve leaking to the atmosphere?
A valve leaking to the atmosphere, also known as fugitive emissions, can be caused by several factors. It could be due to defective packing, which requires replacement. If you have a version with adjustable packing, the packing might not be tightened correctly; adjust it accordingly. Another cause may be loose flanged joints or worn-out body gaskets, so check the flanged joint and replace the gaskets if needed.
Why is my Samson Control Unit actuator jolting?
If the actuator and plug stem of your Samson Control Unit are exhibiting jolting movements, it could be due to a couple of reasons. If you have a version with adjustable packing, the packing might not be tightened correctly, so tighten the packing correctly. Alternatively, the medium might have crystallized in the packing, in which case you should replace the packing.
What to do if the Samson Control Unit actuator doesn't move?
If the actuator and plug stem of your Samson Control Unit do not move when expected, there could be a few reasons. First, the actuator might be blocked; inspect the attachment and remove any blockage, but be careful, as a blocked actuator can suddenly move uncontrollably once unblocked. Ensure you disconnect and lock the pneumatic air supply and control signal before attempting to unblock it, releasing any stored energy. Also, the signal pressure might be too low, so check the signal pressure and the signal pressure line for any leakage. If these steps don't resolve the issue, the diaphragm in the actuator might be defective.

Why is my Samson 3251 valve leaking?
If the Samson Control Unit valve leaks to the atmosphere, it could be due to several reasons. The packing might be defective and needs replacement. If it is the version with adjustable packing, it might not be tightened correctly and needs adjustment. If the unit uses a bellows seal, the bellows seal might be defective. Also, check if the flange joint is loose or the gasket is worn out, requiring a gasket replacement.
