4.4 Storing the valve
Risk of valve damage due to improper stor-
age.
Î Observe the storage instructions.
Î Avoid long storage times.
Î Contact SAMSON in case of different
storage conditions or longer storage
times.
SAMSON recommends to regularly check
the control valve and the prevailing storage
conditions during long storage periods.
Storage instructions
− Protect the control valve against external
inuences (e.g. impact).
− Do not damage the corrosion protection
(paint, surface coatings). Repair any
damage immediately.
− Protect the control valve against moisture
and dirt. Store it at a relative humidity of
less than 75%. In damp spaces, prevent
condensation. If necessary, use a drying
agent or heating.
− Make sure that the ambient air is free of
acids or other corrosive media.
− The permissible storage temperature of
standard control valves is –20 to +65°C.
Contact our after-sales service for the
storage temperatures of other valve ver-
sions.
− Do not place any objects on the control
valve.
Special storage instructions for elastomers
Elastomer, e.g. actuator diaphragm
− To keep elastomers in shape and to pre-
vent cracking, do not bend them or hang
them up.
− SAMSON recommends a storage tem-
perature of 15°C for elastomers.
− Store elastomers away from lubricants,
chemicals, solutions and fuels.
SAMSON's After-sales Service can provide
more detailed storage instructions on re-
quest.
